from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Little Sheriff ( Il piccolo sceriffo ) is an Italian comic series developed in 1948 by the publisher Tristano Torelli and the draftsman Dino Zuffi . Issue number 12 of the German-language edition of this series was the first item to be indexed by the Federal Testing Office for writings harmful to young people .

Figures and framework

After Kit, the orphaned son of the Prairie Town sheriff and a great gunman with a keen sense of justice, captures his father's killer, he succeeds him in the fight for justice. He is often accompanied by Rocky, a prairie wolf, and a clumsy helper named Piggy. Other constant supporting characters are Garrett, who turns from the opponent Kits to his friend and advisor, Garret's daughter Flossie, who is Kit's fiancée, and Kit's sister Lizzie.

publication

In Italy, Il piccolo sceriffo had been on the market since 1948. In Germany, Der kleine Sheriff was published from 1954 by the Hamburg publishing house Mondial, a subsidiary of the French Les Éditions Mondiales. At the turn of the year 1956/1957 Rastätter took over Erich Pabel Verlag together with Tarzan Der kleine Sheriff and continued the series independently. After 13 more issues, The Little Sheriff was integrated into Tarzan as a second series and discontinued together with the latter in September 1958. The Norbert Hethke publisher put in the years 1999-2005 67 books from The Little Sheriff scratch.

indexing

The stumbling block was the “attempted murder by strangling” a criminal on his beloved, which was shown in the booklet Daring Hunt and stretched over five pages. The negotiation date was July 9, 1954. Together with issue number 12 of Der kleine Sheriff , issues with numbers 19 and 20 by Pecos Bill and issues with numbers 34 and 35 by Tarzan , all of which had been published by Mondial Verlag , negotiated. Only The Little Sheriff was indexed by these booklets, the other comics negotiated were not approved. On the same day of the hearing, Jezab, the seafarer from Walter Lehning Verlag, was also indexed by means of an injunction . The indexes were announced on July 14, 1954 in the Federal Gazette No. 132. The indexing had no direct influence on the series, as the issue was already out of stock at the time of the negotiation. A request for the indexing of the following number 13 with the title one against three was not granted in the hearing that took place on August 20, 1954. Further issues of The Little Sheriff were no longer the subject of indexing proceedings. Due to a change in the law, the indexing of issue number 12 was automatically lifted in 2002.
