InSweden it is called "Rebecca", which was the name of the comic's heroine. Together, Brandoli and Queirolo also published two albums for a younger audience: "Colorina" and "Il Mago di Oz" (The Wizard of Oz).In 1981, Brandoli started the "I Testamenti di Sant'Ambrogio (Rebecca)" series in the magazine "Linus".
