Comics and novels

'Big noses'

The "big-nosed" comics began in 1989 with the publication of the Fan con Nata humor strips in the pages of Marvel comics by Planeta DeAgostini . The experiences of fans of all kinds of leisure, culture, and subculture expanded with spin-offs like Fan Letal and Excelsior Forum. Simultaneously, fanzines (Kiusaps) and self-published comics were released, laying the groundwork for the Fanhunter series. In Fanhunter, fans had to use their "culturally diverse" knowledge to fight against a tyrant, Pope Alejo I, who was determined to ban all forms of entertainment, including comics, movies, non-sacred music, and video games.
