 The name of the character comes from the Japanese television cartoon series "Daitarn 3", whose main villain's name was translated to Don Zauker in the Italian version.Much of the relevance of the satirical character comes from the implied scathing criticism of the Roman Catholic Church, thus it has also been successful in other Catholic countries like France and Spain where it was recently published.Don Zauker is portrayed as sex-obsessed, violent, racist, greedy and occasionally murderous; he constantly takes advantage of the gullibility and submissiveness of Catholic faithfuls.
