This series begins with Diabolik, the greatest criminal of Italian comics or fumetti as they are called because of the "clouds of smoke" (speech bubbles) present in comic strips. Fumo means "smoke." In this segment, various personalities describe the character Diabolik, both the good and the bad.

Diabolik drives a Jaguar, but not an ordinary Jaguar. He is able to transform the car in order to facilitate escaping when the need arises. In a way, both Diabolik and his car wear masks and assume different identities.

At the beginning, the Giussani sisters decided to hide their identities as women. Even so, it was not easy finding distribution. And there were other mysteries, as well, surrounding the early days of the iconic comic book, Diabolik.
