Ducati Hypermotard Appears in Diabolik Comic

You know when a bike has become a true success when it starts appearing in mainstream movies or in this case, one of Italy’s oldest and most iconic comics books, Diabolik.
Diabolik is an anti-hero and a ruthless, master thief, who in the number 11 issue titled “La morte sa aspettare” (Death can Wait) leaves behind his usual Jaguar and rides a fantastic Ducati Hypermotard to do one of his hits.

The fictional character was created by sisters Angela and Luciana Giussani in 1962 and inspired by French and Italian pulp fiction, and was turned into a feature movie in 1968 called Danger: Diabolik directed by Mario Bava and starring John Phillip Law and also into a cartoon series.
