Frigidaire was a comics magazine published in Rome, Italy. The magazine had significant effects on graphic design, illustrations and written speech in the country during the 1980s. [1] In 2008 it folded, and from 2009 it became a supplement of Liberazione, a defunct communist newspaper.
History and profile
Frigidaire was established in 1980. [1] [2] The first issue appeared in November. [3] The founders were Vincenzo Sparagna, Stefano Tamburini, Filippo Scòzzari, Andrea Pazienza, Massimo Mattioli, and Tanino Liberatore. [4] [5] The magazine had its headquarters in Rome. [2]
In addition to cartoons Frigidaire featured avant-garde reportages and interviews [1] and covers articles on visual art. [2] It also included investigative reports. [2] Over time the magazine became a mouthpiece for left-wing counterculture in the country. [2]
At the beginning of the 2000s the frequency of Frigidaire was switched to bi-monthly. [3] In 2003 Vincenzo Sparagna sold the publisher of the magazine, [6] which was temporarily ceased publication from April–May 2003 to 2006. [3] On 25 April 2009 the magazine began to be published as an insert of Liberazione, a communist daily. [3]
