Vartan is an Italian comic book created and drawn by Sandro Angiolini (1920-1985), and published in 200 issues between 1969 and 1977 by Furio Viano. Its genre was Western and its main concern was the erotic adventures of its heroine, describesd as "white Indian".[1]
Vartan is one of many such characters from the Italian fumetti tradition.[2] Other female figures from the same era, and with similarly erotic preoccupations, include Zora la Vampira, Maghella, Biancaneve, Lucifera, Jacula, Yra, Jolanda de Almaviva, and Sukia.
