Torpedo è un tipo di gangster particolare, perché proprio nella sua assenza di regole diventa inaffidabile e alla fine dei suoi crimini rimane la parte ridicola. Un grande successo del fumetto spagnolo, anche se in realtà le prime storie di Luca Torello, personaggio creato da Sanchez Abulì sono state disegnate da Toth che ha lasciato l’incarico a Bernet in quanto non condivideva i toni troppo violenti del personaggio. Ed il Torpedo esclusivamente spagnolo funziona sicuramente meglio, le storie brevi e semplici sono divertenti ed accattivanti, il disegno di Bernet è perfetto per descrivere il carattere irruento ed alla fine inconsistente di Torelli. Il successo è meritato anche se alla fine il lavoro non era difficile, perché mettici uno cattivo, ma talmente cattivo che fa ridere, violenza, sangue, belle donne discinte e l’America degli anni trenta e gran parte del lavoro è fatto. Ma ciò non toglie il merito di aver pensato ad un personaggio come Luca Torelli.… (meer)

I had my first contact with Torpedo through an anthology when I was 13-14. As I was raised with Marvel Comics, everything seemed wrong (The length of the stories, the motiffs of the characters, the takes, the light, even Bernet's art that sometimes ressembled Joe Kuberts's inks). But as I started immersing on it, I was hooked and everything that i thoght wrong seemed fresh and ingenious.

Highly recommended for those who like 1930's noir stories or Azzarello and Risso's 100 Bullets. Talking about Eduardo Risso, in Torpedo you can check one his main influences.… (meer)

New York 1936, Lucas Torelli alias Torpedo, sicilien de son état, loue sa gâchette à qui veut éliminer un rival, une femme gênante ou un voisin trop curieux. La pitié est un mot inconnu pour lui, seul l'argent peut adoucir ses mœurs, quand il coule en abondance. L'époque est propice à son petit commerce et ce ne sont pas les quelques séjours en taule qui pourront altérer son désir de flinguer à tout va. A défaut de ne pouvoir être son ami, car il n'en a plus, priez pour ne pas être son ennemi !… (meer)
