Yes, a Finn going by Jaako runs a few panels of the lunatic
Italian comix (the drawn kind, rather than the photos with
dialog balloons that were the first to have the "fumetti" tag
in America) and describes the stories in English. It's a Very
Cosmopolitan experience.

Yes, the krimis, films based on Wallace's often lunatic
novels, were influential on giallo films, even as Wallace's
novels were influential on the Italian novels published in
yello (giallo) jackets that lent their collective name to the
films.
Contrast the Serie Noire and our favorite films onlinst, and
so on...
