I have already written about Italian comic Satanik and the quest for a stronger woman and The Avengers and current fashion collections in previous posts.
Yet a personal research I did in the last few months about comics, fashion and films brought a new comparison, this time between Satanik and The Avengers.
A while back I found indeed an issue of Satanik entitled "Rapsodia in nero" ("Rhapsody in Black", almost a reference to early Italian silent film Rapsodia Satanica or "Satanic Rhapsody") in which the protagonist goes to visit London in the 60s.
One of the first things she does as soon as she arrives is obviously going to a shop where she buys a mini-skirt in Mary Quant style.
Satanik then ends up in a castle where mysterious things (read druidic sacrifices...) happen and where she meets the lord of the manor, Sir Anthony, a man decked in classic London attire (bowler hat and umbrella included) even when he’s inside the castle.
The story brought to mind this Avengers photoshoot in which the main characters were photographed with model Twiggy and with different Olympic heroes and athletes.
