And L'Audace. Two years later he moved to Mondadori, for which he created his most famous character, Kit Carson, as well as the series Dottor Faust and Gino e Gianni. He also worked on "Il Corsaro Nero" for Donald Duck and Other Adventures (Paperino e altre avventure). After the war he slowed his activities as a comic artist, only making a few Emilio Salgari's adaptations for the magazine Salgari and collaborating with some French magazines. In the 1950s Albertarelli abandoned comics to focus on his activity as illustrator. In the UK, a few issues of Fleetway's Battle Picture Library, illustrated by Albertarelli, appeared in 1963 and 1964. After a long hiatus, he returned to comics in 1973 with Daim Press' series I protagonisti del West (also known just as I protagonisti), with which he collaborated until his death in Milan in 1974. The series was eventually completed by Sergio Toppi.
