 Satanik (Comic Book)
comment
Satanik is a 1964 Italian comic belonging to the fumetto nero (black comic) genre, authored by Max Bunker and Magnus. One of the most successful endeavors of the genre, the comic is distinguished from others of its kind by the massive presence of supernatural and horror elements, which were absent in the grittier, more realistic examples like Diabolik and the several other comics that came after it. Running for 10 years, it ended in 1974 amidst many controversies, which surrounded this production more so than any other black comic of the period, yet it has enjoyed several reprints, and is still considered a classic by the aficionados.Marnie Bannister's life, to put it bluntly, sucks. Despite being a brilliant biologist and chemist, having earned herself a Ph.D. at just 25 years of age, she is despised and ridiculed by pretty much everyone around her because of her poor origins and of an angioma that viciously scars her face. The third daughter of an alcoholic and of a closed-minded housewife, she still lives in the family, along with her beautiful sisters Dolly and Lydia, who continuously disrespect her because of her unsightly appearance. Pushed to the edge by the abuse, Marnie invents a serum by expanding on the research of the mad alchemist Masopust. After drinking the serum and going through a painful transformation, Marnie is turned into a beautiful red-haired seductress. Inebriated by her newfound appearance, and filled with grudge against the world, she decides to make the most of it, calling herself Satanik and starting a life of crime and lust for power that will leave countless bodies behind...

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: If one is feeling charitable, Marnie's behavior can be interpreted as that of a young, intelligent and resourceful woman who's fed up with all the abuse she's received and is lashing out at the world that mistreated her, under the delusion that this will make her feel better somehow.

Being Evil Sucks: A major theme of this comic: yes, it might feel good for a while, but in the long run, no matter how much money, power or dark magic she amasses, Marnie's victories invariably end up feeling hollow and pointless.

Faking the Dead: Deconstructed. In the third issue, still inebriated by the change in her life, Marnie starred in a movie and then had to fake her death immediately after. In the following issue a potential ally recognizes her and guesses she has something to hide, prompting her to murder him to protect the secret, and in the fifth she walks into a trap Trent set up after seeing her picture on the paper and realizing she has survived the fire in which he thought she had died.
