Jim Alaska, or the adventures of a Canadian police captain is a comic interpretation of a hero of a series of popular pulp novels entitled "Alaska Jim" which appeared from 1935 to 1939 with a total of 226 issues in the German publishing house Freya, Heidenau.
After eight episodes (each one page, in color) published in "Robinson", the brave officer passes on the pages of "Pinocchio" SAEV, then on those of "Jumbo", to finish on the «Audace».
Open questions:
Not sure if the information about Carlo Cossio is correct as it seems there is also another comic book Alaska Jin drawn by Carlo Cossio but published in 1950
The story of "Franco di Portovenere" drawn by Carlo Cossio based on texts by Agostino Della Casa, aka Nino Della Vega, which occupies the two central pages of the Robinson weekly is a story about pirate and his adventures. The very long novel, already published in handouts by the Editoriale Vecchi from 1932 to 1934, is re-proposed in a comicbook version.
"I Falchi Grigi": the story scripted by Gianluigi Bonelli and drawn by Vittorio Cossio tells the story of an expedition that wants to attempt the climb of Everest, but runs into strange beings who came from space. Bonelli writes a beautiful subject using a very personal way and original ideas with situations taken from the tables of the Raimondian Flash Gordon, who on the pages of the "Avventuroso" is enjoying enormous success.
With the number nine "I Falchi Grigi" go to the honors of the first page in color and therefore the visual impact improves considerably.
