History and profile

The magazine was born on the initiative of the Azione Cattolica association as a catholic response to the secular comics, with the aim of offering to their young audience comics that had positive moral values and which were respectful of Catholic doctrine.[1][2] Enrico Basari’s comic format of Beowulf was published in the magazine in 1941.[3] It was the first comic format of the work.[3]

Il Vittorioso had a good commercial success, with an average circulation of about 200,000 copies per week, even thanks to its distribution channel which included parishes and catholic educational entities.[1][2]

The magazine included only works by Italian cartoonists, and it launched the career of several of them, notably Benito Jacovitti.[1][2]
