History: Killing is an Italian master criminal, known for his ruthless lack of mercy in pursuit of his goals. He usually targets other criminals, robbing them after they have committed their own crimes. The only person who knows his true identity is his assistant and lover Dana, who is as murderous as he is. His main opponent is police Inspector Mercier, who doggedly pursues Killing, always just a couple of steps behind him.

Comments: Created by Pietro Granelli, an Italian publisher and editor. Killing was his version of Kriminal. For its simultaneous release in France, Killing was retitled Satanik. Killing soon gained a reputation for being even more sadistic than the rest of the genre.
