SATANIK, a French language edition of KILLING, was published simultaneously in France. Though only 19 issues were published from June 1966 until June 1967 (then cancelled because of government censorship) it had a lasting cultural impact on France and spawned imitators like Fatalik. SATANIK was also distributed in Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Morocco, Tunisia and Canada.

EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FRENCH SATANIK!

INCROYABLE! We posted a faux cover of SATANIK No. 20 as a ‘what if,’ not knowing it’s a ‘what was!’ Bernard Bernier, a French fan of the King of Crime, sent us these scans of rare issues of SATANIK 20 through 22 which were printed by the Italian publisher. Though banned and destroyed by the French government a few copies do exist!
