Il Vittorioso (Italian for "The Victorious") was a weekly comic magazine published in Italy from 1937 to 1966.

The magazine was born on the initiative of the Azione Cattolica association as a catholic response to the secular comics, with the aim of offering to their young audience comics that had positive moral values and which were respectful of Catholic doctrine.

[3] Enrico Basari's comic format of Beowulf was published in the magazine in 1941.

[4] Il Vittorioso had a good commercial success, with an average circulation of about 200,000 copies per week, even thanks to its distribution channel which included parishes and catholic educational entities.

[1][2] The magazine included only works by Italian cartoonists, and it launched the career of several of them, notably Benito Jacovitti.
