First table appeared on Audace N. 338 on a backcover and in color. It comes out for 41 issues in color, up to N. 378, before it is moved inside and in b/w for another 6 tables, (from N. 379 to N. 384) and concludes in black/red two tone in N. 385, where it is left incomplete. In 1943 the story was reprinted again in the Albo d'Oro Audace, but this time too it is incomplete. Finally, in 1950, the Audace publishing house reissues the Paparella plates in two issues of the Collana Ragno D’oro, setting the story no longer in 1950 but in 1960. With this edition, the story finally finds its conclusion,
