Talk:Procopio (comics)

Incorrect information?

"In 1966, Procopio was protagonist of a series of vinyl records titled Le fiabe di mago Procopio"

I believe this is in error. Noting the artwork of the character in the article, I researched the record serie, mostly via eBay. On the record covers, the character represented as the Mago Procopio looks absolutely nothing like the Landolfi character. Furthermore, the record character, "Di Mago Procopio," (The Magician Procopio) indicates the character in this record series is a magician, whereas the Landolfi character is described as a medieval knight. I respectfully suggest this sentence be deleted as inaccurate.

Landolfi's character is not described as a medieval knight, he DEBUTED as a knight but then became " a polyvalent character, who plays many different roles", basically changing his profession/activity in every episode. Eg, here you can see previews of several episodes of the comics, set in different epochs, with Procopio playing different characters and even changing his physical features. For this reason it is not unreasonable that Procopio became a magician for a series of records. The information came from Franco Fossati, an eminent scholar of comics who, among other things, also named a museum devoted to comics, I would be surprised if he was plainly wrong (even if you are right about the poor resemblance with the character depicted on the record covers! they are not illustrated by Landolfi, for sure).
