Script

Second episode of Orlando l'invincibile, originally published in Audace n.370 - n.384, with last 6 tables (n.379 - n.384) published in color on the backcover. Due to regime restrictions in last 7 tables (n.378 - n.384) there are no longer clouds in the dialogues of the characters, but captions.
Later this episode is reprinted in L'Audace Supplementi Serie V n.6 (also known as Audace 339 bis) in b/w and with captions instead of cloud dialogs (enforced restriction of the regime at the time).

In "Orlando l'invincibile", the myth of the Paladins is revisited by the texts of Gianluigi Bonelli on the basis of the literary inventions of Ariosto and Boiardo, who had sung the exploits of the epic hero in poem form. It tells the story of the valiant paladin of Charlemagne who, for the love of the beautiful Angelica , faces all sorts of adventures against magicians, giants, knights and dragons.

Rino Albertarelli , author of the drawings, can give vent to his graphic talent here, creating a world poised between reality and magic that has no equal in the comics of those years. The great Albertarelli continued the work of Vittorio Cossio (his, in fact, were the drawings of the first part of the story).
