The comic "KRIMINAL" ended in 1974, after 419 issues. In Spain, the character was known as "KILLING!" In the comic, but not the movie "KRIMINAL" has the ability to wear different masks that change his identity! In the movie, he's more of a makeup artist! The Dutch actor Glenn Saxon is KRIMINAL in this film and the sequel made two years later, "Il Ma
