Nilus is an Italian comic strip created by Agostino and Franco Origone. It is considered among the most famous and successful comic strips ever created in Italy. [1]

Nilus was created in 1976 for the magazine Il Mago , then it was published in many newspapers, magazines and collector books. [2] In 1979 the comic book Nilus - tutti gli uomini del faraone (literally "Nilus, All the Pharaoh's Men") won the Dattero d'oro at the International Festival of the Humor of Bordighera. [3]

The comic strip is set in ancient Egypt, and satirically parodies the modern society, showing a dull and fat pharaoh struggling with modern problems such as fiscal instability, inflation, unemployment, energy crisis. [1]
