Background

The Western comic series debuted in May 1950, with text by Andrea Lavezzolo (who signed the comics with the pen name A. Lawson) and artwork by the trio EsseGesse (Pietro Sartoris, Dario Guzzon and Giovanni Sinchetto), at their debut.[1] When Essegesse passed to draw other comics - as Blek Macigno and Captain Miki - the stories of Kinowa were illustrated by Pietro Gamba.[2] The main character of the series is Sam Boyle, a man that, scalped and left for dead after an attack on the convoy in which perished his wife and son, builds a duck skin mask with the likeness of the devil and, turned into the avenging spirit Kinowa, persecutes the descendants of his attackers.[1]

The comics had a significant success in Turkey, where Kinowa became protagonist, between 1971 ad 1972, of three western-adventure films (Kinova - Demir Yumruk, Kara Seytan - Kinova 2 and Kam^ili Kadin - Kinova 3).[3] It is considered as the initiator of the Italian western-gothic subgenre.[4]

gollark: I don't see why you would need any hardware for this.
gollark: Using an existing custom ROM thing is very easy, compiling Android yourself is hard and extremely slow because Android is horribly designed, porting postmarketOS is probably harder but at least not glacially slow.
gollark: What?
gollark: In many cases there are custom ROMs available (without google apps and stuff) though.
