The thirty-ninth comic: #297 Tex
Today we dive into our first western, and of course we start with one from a country that's second most associated with it - Italy. I'm still not quite sure why that country loves them so much, but it's a definite trend in movies that clearly transferred to comics as well.
Tex Willer is a ranger (although for part of the work we read, he's demoted due to an incident that was clearly implied not to be his fault, but that he did get the blame for. He travels around, taking on outlaws, saving the innocent and especially bringing down those harming others. There is still plenty of bloodshed, but there's meant to be a moral difference.
The art is good, although it works best in colour, but the stories are absolutely of their time, which irks at times. There are some good things here, though, and on the whole it held up better than I expected.
