Diabolik (also known as Saban's Diabolik and Diabolik: Track of the Panther; French: Diabolik: Sur les Traces de la Panthère, lit. "Diabolik: In the Footsteps of the Panther")[1] is an animated television series based on the Italian comic book series of the same name by Angela and Luciana Giussani.[2] Developed by Charles Corton and written by Jean Cheville and Florence Sandis,[3] the series was an international co-production between Saban Entertainment, Saban International Paris, M6 Métropole Télévision and Mediaset,[4] with Asiatic animation services by Ashi Productions and Saerom Animation.[3][5]
Production on the show began in 1997.[6] In Europe, it premiered on Fox Kids on May 5, 1999, and lasted for 40 episodes before ending on January 1, 2001.[7][8] Ownership of the series passed to Disney in 2001 when the company acquired Fox Kids Worldwide, which also includes Saban Entertainment.[9][10][11] Although it was co-produced in the U.S., it never aired in that country.[12]
The series that focuses on master thief Diabolik and his woman companion Eva, as they fight the criminal organisation Brotherhood and its leader Dane, while evading Inspector Ginko.[3][5] The series differs considerably from the darker-toned comic, making it more suitable for a young audience;[1] the main differences include the rejuvenation of Diabolik and Eva Kant, the introduction of new characters (such as the main antagonist Dane), the replacement of Diabolik's Jaguar E-Type with a fictional modern car, the absence of murders by the title character, and the setting in the real world rather than fictional locations.[1]
