Shanghai Devil

Shanghai at the turn of the 20th century is a city of extremes — fabulous wealth and grinding poverty, ancient tradition and ruthless modernity, imperial grandeur and colonial exploitation. Into this powder keg steps an Italian protagonist who must navigate the criminal underworld, political conspiracies, and the explosive tensions of the Boxer Rebellion. The series plunges into one of history's most turbulent periods and places, where European colonial powers, Chinese imperial forces, and revolutionary movements collide. Adventure, intrigue, and danger lurk in every opium den and diplomatic salon of the International Settlement. Created by Gianfranco Manfredi and published from 2011 to 2013 for 18 issues, Shanghai Devil brings the exotic, violent, and fascinating world of colonial China to the Bonelli catalog.
