The Company of the Gallows (original title: La Compagnia della Forca) is an Italian comic book series written and drawn by Magnus from 1977 to 1979 (with the collaboration of Giovanni Romanini).
Among them, Crocca, a female vulture which starts the series telling company's story and the defeat of Evil.
The story is an epic quest without its basic elements: the group, the aim, the battles, a clear separation between the good and the evil, a strong protagonist who decides what to do.
The style of Magnus pencils often retains funny and grotesque elements shown in Alan Ford.
The text, instead, is a mixture of sarcastic Max Bunker's style, Tolkien fantasy elements, medieval history, classical Northern European and Middle Eastern traditions and lore, and personal travels (for example, Magnus' travel to Croatia).
