History and profile
Lanciostory was created in 1975 by Editrice Lancio to target the adult audience interested in comics who had marked the contemporary success of comics magazines such as Il Monello and Intrepido. The first issue, #0, was released in April 1975 attached to the Lancio-edited fotoromanzi magazine Le Avventure di Jacques Douglas.

Italian collaborators included Franco Saudelli, Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri and Massimo Rotundo. From the late 1970s Lanciostory started publishing Franco-Belgian comics.

Each issue consists of about 6-7 episodic comics, plus several columns about cinema, sport and entertainment.
