Tex: The Magnificent Outlaw
Just finished reading "Tex: The Magnificent Outlaw" by Mauro Boselli and Stefano Andreucci, published by Epicenter Comics.
Because Tex is an Italian comic - releases by Epicenter Comics are in English - I will provide a little background on this decades old comic book series.
Tex Willer is the main fictional character of the Italian comics series Tex, created by writer Gian Luigi Bonelli and illustrator Aurelio Galleppini, and first published in Italy on September 30 1948. It is among the most popular characters of Italian comics, with translations to numerous languages all around the world.
Tex's first adventure appeared on 30 September 1948, as a comic strip. At Tex is an unwillingly outlaw who was framed for a crime he did not commit, and who with a strong code of honor: he kills only for self-defense.
Tex's goal is to become a Texas Ranger. Thanks to the marriage with the beautiful Navajo girl Lilyth, he becomes Chief of the Navajos, known as Aquila della Notte (Eagle of the Night), and a defender of Native American rights. He also becomes the respected Indian agent of the Navajo tribe. He is also a blood brother to Cochise.
Tough, loyal, infallible with guns, enemy of prejudice and discrimination, Tex is very quick and smart, and has a marked disregard for strict rules; on the other side, he has no pity for criminals, of every race and census, nor regard for their rights, if they do not immediately cooperate with the law.
"The Magnificent Outlaw" is a tells a tale from Tex's younger days when he is on the run for a crime he didn't commit. He is on the trail of of those who can clear him from the charges against him and save him from the hangman's noose. [We do find in the pages that an older Tex is telling this story of his misbegotten youth to his son and his best friend Kit Carson. [The Tex series, while an Italian version of the American Old West, does incorporate actual history into the comic strip series.]
Riding into a bandit's nest, Tex seeks to make inroads, but runs up against some unexpected trouble in the form of a tenderfoot by the name of Will Kramer who only sees in shades of black and white and who just may cause the end of Tex.
Tex reminds me of the old full-sized black and white comic magazines published by Warren Publishing.
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
