I want to pay a little homage to Sisto's wonderful fotoromanzo career, which was really very long and varied. The earliest discoveries of him date back to the mid 1960s. In this period, he appeared almost exclusively in roles as thugs, gangsters, henchmen etc. Here are some examples:

Genius N. 14: "Missione "Bambole" verdi" (12 December 1966)

Baby Colt N. 2: "Ricatto al casinò..." (31 May 1968)

The early 1970s also saw Sisto being cast in more comical roles, like in Le avventure di Jacques Douglas N. 77: "Abisso senza fine" (February 1972), where he's a truck driver who gets scammed by the sumptuous Luana Castellano

By the mid 1970s, Sisto had established himself as a reliable character actor. His roles became bigger and bigger, and he was chosen to play a regular role in the long-running fotoromanzo serial Le avventure di Jacques Douglas. He plays Horace, a sidekick to the comical character Dan Sharrett (played by Kirk Morris). His real name is actually Orazio, but Dan always insists on calling him Horace :p

Here are Horace and Dan in Le avventure di Jacques Douglas N. 115: "Ken e Susan... L'inferno e il paradiso" (April 1975) - scanned from the French-language version

Le avventure di Jacques Douglas N. 122: "Fingiamo di amarci appassionatamente" (November 1975)

And here's our comical duo in Le avventure di Jacques Douglas N. 127: "Come Susan nessuna" (April 1976) - the very first Jacques Douglas fotoromanzo in color!

Thanks to the success with the Horace character, Sisto was chosen to play a regular role in another long-running fotoromanzo serial: Le avventure di Lucky Martin, where he plays Walter "il fifone", a very comical character who always gets involved in humorous and absurd situations.

Here's Sisto playing Walter in Le avventure di Lucky Martin N. 86: "Anello di fidanzamento" (November 1975)

Le avventure di Lucky Martin N. 93: "L'ora della vendetta" (June 1976)

But Sisto also played more roles in between the Jacques Douglas and Lucky Martin fotoromanzi:

And finally a late role in Charme N. 512: "Baciami, baciami Vic!" (14 February 1986), a remake of a famous fotoromanzo from 1966!
