Nick Carter is the short but smart old-school detective, often hired by the police and private party to solve crimes and mysteries alongside his two partners, the gigantic and not-too bright Patsy and the diminutive, Koan-speaking Ten. The stories usually parody famous movies and novels, as well as sometimes dabbing in the science-fiction, horror and political genre as the trio travels around the world to solve problems, often running into Nick's archnemesis, the dreaded russian master of disguise Stanislao Moulinsky.

''Nick Carter'' is a comic strip from Italy, created in 1972 as a semi-animated cartoon for the then-popular TV show Gulp!, authored by Guido De Maria and drawn by Franco Bonvicini, alias Bonvi, father of the ''ComicBook/{{Sturmtruppen}}'', it is essentially a parody of the [[Literature/NickCarter literary character of the same name.]]
Nick Carter is the short but smart old-school detective, often hired by the police and private party to solve crimes and mysteries alongside his two partners, the gigantic and not-too bright Patsy and the diminutive, Koan-speaking Ten. The stories usually parody famous movies and novels, as well as sometimes dabbing in the science-fiction, horror and political genre as the trio travels around the world to solve problems, often running into Nick's archnemesis, the dreaded russian master of disguise Stanislao Moulinsky.
Do not confuse with the singer.
