Andrea Pazienza debuted in 1977 on the magazine Alteralter with his first comic story, The Extraordinary Adventures of Pentothal, the surrealistic and psychedelic story of an alter ego named after the sedative Penthothal. He subsequently published several short stories on Cannibale, Il Male, and Frigidaire, of which he was one of the founders.

In 1980, he created the character Zanardi and collaborated with the magazines Corto Maltese and Comic Art, while also producing movie and
