In the late 1966 the contract with Eagle expired, and subsequently many series abruptly disappeared; the magazine adopted a bedsheet format in January 1967 and a tabloid format in 1968, but the sales kept to decline, and the magazine finally closed in December 1968, replaced by Giochi-Quiz, a puzzle supplement.

In 1993 Il Giorno tried to resurrect the brand, creating a weekly comic supplement titled Il Giorno Ragazzi. After 22 issues, the supplement was incorporated in the pages of the newspaper, before being eventually dismissed after forty issues. [2]
