Each issue was a self-contained episode of an unfolding story which recounted the adventures of Tony Falco, an Italian engineer working in Egypt. The first issue, published on 11 December 1948, was entitled I misteri della Casbah (The Mysteries of the Kasbah). The last issue, published on 5 November 1949 was entitled Il rogo sul mare (The Burning Sea). The entire series was republished in facsimile in 1975 by the Associazione Nazionale Amici del Fumetto.[1][2][3]
