"Killing" is an Italian comics series featuring an eponymous character. The series was entitled "Satanik" in the French edition. Sold as "Photostories for Adults", it ran for 62 issues (19 in France) in 1965, and was published by Ponzoni and editor Pietro Granelli. The character was also known as "KiLiNK", the star of several unauthorized films shot in Turkey during the late 1960s and early 70s. The series is currently being revived by American editor and comics creator Mort Todd, under the new title, "Sadistik: Diabolikal Superkriminal".

ynopsis

Killing is a vicious criminal, totally without mercy. Wearing a black and white costume styled on a human skeleton, he slaughters other criminals unrepetantly, often stealing their once-stolen loot. He crafts masks from a flesh-like substance to imitate his victims. Killing's methods are brutal and sadistic, and the lurid covers and stories often feature him attacking, torturing, and murdering scantily clad women.

Supporting characters include Killing's lover Dana, the only person who knows his secret identity, and Inspector Mercier, a determined police officer who always just misses catching and detaining Killing for his crimes.

The character of Killing was inspired by several previous characters from French and Italian pulp fiction, including Fantômas, Diabolik, and especially Kriminal. Killing's books, however, were far more violent and sexually explicit than those of his predecessors.
