Production
Fantabulous Inc. was Sergio Spina's directorial debut. His next film was his second and last film L'asino 'doro.

On the film's release, distributors changed the original Italian title Fantasbulous and replaced it with the title La donna, il sesso e il superuomo (lit. Woman, Sex and the Superman). The film was released in Italy in 1968.
Reception
In a contemporary review in Variety, Mosk. proclaimed that the creators of the film "may have imagined they were making a satirical, progressive pic. But it exploits sex, political notations, and comic strip origins without humor, insight or point to make this just a flaccid programmer that might be used in action or grind spots abroad on its unregenerate bad taste."
