The comic started in 1951 in the comics magazine Il Vittorioso, where it was published until the close of the magazine in the late sixties.[1]
Procopio debuted as a squire of a medieval knight.[2] The author was later able to make it a polyvalent character, who plays many different roles, with the artifice of a modern Procopio, which tells of the adventures of his ancestors (all called Procopio and all with the same characteristics and traits).[2]
In a 1958, in an Italian survey conducted by RAI TV, it resulted as the most popular character of the children's literature and comics.[1]
In 1966, Procopio was protagonist of a series of vinyl records titled Le fiabe di mago Procopio; the same year he was subject of a novel, Procopio di Terracupa, written by the same Landolfi.[1]
Procopio also appeared in a short-living series of B&W animated shorts.[1]
