The character reached the print run of 100,000, so in 1978 the local publisher ( Dnevnik from Novi Sad) decided to produce its own licensed material, colloquially known as YU Blek.

In former Yugoslavia, Blek was published in the Lunov magnus strip and Strip zabavnik series. Blek also received a revamped origin writer Marcel Navarro revealed 'Blek' means 'Golden Hair' in the language of Native Americans, but that he was born Yannick Leroc in Saint-Malo, France on November 27, 1749. In Scandinavia he was called Davy Crockett, although he has nothing to do with the historical figure.Ĭarlo Cedroni, Nicola Del Principe and many others continued the production for Éditions Lug, while the list of French authors included Jean-Yves Mitton and André Amouriq. The Slovenian national minority in Italy was introduced to Blek in Slovene in 1959 (as Silni Tom, meaning Tough Tom) Slovenian translation was changed to Veliki Blek in 1990s.

In addition to Italy, Blek was reprinted in other countries such as Greece (as ΜΠΛΕΚ), Turkey (as Teksas, Çelik Blek), France (as Blek le Roc), and former Yugoslavia (as Veliki Blek). However, the authors moved on to create Comandante Mark after a financial disagreement with the original publisher in 1965. In its heyday, the strip boasted a weekly circulation of 400,000. From 1954 to 1967, 654 strips were published in the Collana Araldo series.

Benjamin Franklin also made occasional appearances.

Blek's best friends and allies are his stepson Roddy Lassiter and Professor Cornelius Occultis. Fictional character īlek is the leader of a group of trappers during the American Revolutionary War, who fight against the cruel Redcoats, the symbol of British colonialist oppression. Blek was written and illustrated by Giovanni Sinchetto, Dario Guzzon and Pietro Sartoris, a trio also known as EsseGesse.
