The Anarchik first appeared in 1967, a twist on the old caricature of a mad anarchist bomber. Within a few years, the little man with an irreverent grin was starring in a comic strip in the pages of one of Italy’s longest running anarchist publications. Created by Roberto Ambrosoli (with the help of friends like Amedeo Bertolo), his impact spread internationally, producing any number of likenesses, but few translations.
This small book attempts to preserve and share much of Ambrosoli’s illustrated work while also clarifying the context of his friends’ struggles to an English language audience.
