Luciana Giussani, con la sorella Angela, (Milano 10.06.1922 - 12.02.1987 - Find A Grave memorial #46615313), è la creatrice del famoso personaggio dei fumetti Diabolik, in Italia, primo fumetto nero in dimensione tascabile. Il primo numero di Diabolik, con la trama scritta da Angela, venne pubblicato il 1º novembre 1962. La storia professionale del legame di Luciana Giussani con il fumetto di Diabolik, iniziò dopo tredici numeri del nuovo giornalino, quando, diplomata da poco in una scuola tedesca, fu invitata a lavorare con sé dalla sorella. Luciana e Angela iniziarono ad occuparsi della casa editrice e a scrivere a quattro mani le audaci avventure del personaggio definito il "Re del terrore". Ad esso dedicarono tutta la loro vita professionale. All'inizio, la pubblicazione, che per i tempi risultava in qualche modo sconvolgente, subì una lunga serie di sequestri. Passata la diffidenza della censura, puntuali giunsero i successi, che fra periodi più o meno brillanti, proseguono ai giorni nostri. Angela morì nel 1987, mentre Luciana continuò a gestire da sola la casa editrice. Nel 1992 lasciò l'impegno della conduzione di Diabolik, lasciando infine, nel 1999, anche la casa editrice. Luciana e Angela Giussani, essendo ideatrici del più famoso "noir" tascabile italiano, vengono simpaticamente ricordate come "le sorelle diabolike".∼Luciana Giussani (April 19, 1928 - March 31, 2001) and Angela (June 10, 1922 - February 12, 1987) were two Italian sisters, very famous for their comic book anti-hero series, Diabolik.
The character, created in 1962, has sold more than 150 million copies since he made his first appearance. The comic book also inspired a movie, a radio show, and a TV series, not to mention countless parodies and pastiches.
Both sisters were born in Milan. Angela Giussani worked initially as a model and entered into the publishing world when she married Gino Sansoni, working for a series of his husband's publishing house. Later she founded the publishing company Astorina, which launched Diabolik on November 1, 1962. Luciana collaborated with her on the series' stories starting from issue #13. Luciana Giussani was educated at the German School of Milan.
After Angela's death in 1987, Luciana carried on directing the publisher and writing a lot of Diabolik's episodes. She quit Astorina in 1999, and died two years later.
