Lo Scolaro ("The Schoolboy") was a weekly magazine dedicated to school children and published from 1912 to 1972. The magazine was headquartered in Genoa, Italy. [1]
The magazine was founded by G. B. Barletta and started its publications with the name Facciamo gli Italiani ("Let's do the Italians"), changing its name in Lo Scolaro in 1915. [2] It came out weekly during the school year, and fortnightly/monthly during the summer. It was distributed on newsstands and in over three thousand schools. [2] The magazine alternated topical headings and curiosity columns, short stories and serials, games, articles on school or teaching topics and comics. [2] Some important Italian cartoonists collaborated to the magazine, including Luciano Bottaro (who here introduced the Pon Pon character), Franco Aloisi, Giovan Battista Carpi, Giulio Chierchini, Paolo Piffarerio, Gallieno Ferri, Guido Zamperoni. [2] In addition to humorous and adventurous comics, in deference to the educational function of the magazine, there were published numerous comics which adapted famous novels, biographies and historical events. [2]
Given to a sales crisis, in January 1970 the magazine changed name to Lo Scolaro D'Europa ("The Schoolboy of Europe") and started mainly publishing previously published material, but the new course was short lived and the magazine finally closed in May 1972 after a sixty-year history and more than 1,000 issues published. [2]

Dutch comics are comics made in the Netherlands. In Dutch the most common designation for the whole art form is "strip", whereas the word "comic" is used for the (usually) soft cover American style comic book format and its derivatives, typically containing translated US superhero material. This use in colloquial Dutch of the adopted English word for that format can cause confusion in English language texts.

Kalle Anka & C:o is a Swedish weekly Disney comics magazine, published by Egmont. The 52-page comic, launched in September 1948, is the overall best-selling Swedish comic magazine. In the early years, the comic printed translated stories from the United States, including Walt Disney's Comics and Stories, Four Color and other Dell Comics Disney titles. As Disney comics production waned in the United States in the 1960s, Kalle Anka began printing more European-produced content, from Scandinavia and Italy. Now, Kalle Anka & C:o and its Scandinavian sister editions Anders And & Co. (Denmark) and Donald Duck & Co (Norway) are identical, apart from the language.

Magazines intended for boys fall into one of three classifications. These are comics which tell the story by means of strip cartoons; story papers which have several short stories; and pulp magazines which have a single, but complete, novella in them. The latter were not for the younger child and were often detective or western in content and were generally greater in cost. Several titles were published monthly whereas the other two categories were more frequent.
