It's now been 4 and a half years since I wrote that I no longer read comics . It was February 2013 and I had recently stopped buying comic books periodically, as had been the case for several years now. Now I find myself here writing about a return to drawn literature . And to take back some thoughts expressed in that old post. As I write this article, on a day at the end of September, I have on my desk - in addition to 12 books - the latest album of «Zagor», a recently released «Maxi Zagor», the second «Tex Magazine» (2017) , the volume for Galep's 100th anniversary and a color hardback volume of «Tex», just released.
Yes, if you haven't suspected it yet, I like the stories of Tex and Zagor. Both, not surprisingly, western comics , even if Zagor belongs to the so-called "tarzanids" (for further information on the genre, I refer you to my post " 18 ideas for writing stories divided by literary genre ", under Adventure). Summer was once the time to read comics For a few years, I don't know why, when we reached the month of June I went on Ebay to look for the giant «Tex» books that I was missing, the special book of over 200 pages that Special Data comes out annually. It was a magazine that I have always appreciated, because it contained a nice presentation, an in-depth historical article on the events told in the comic and an interview with the designer. I have almost all the issues released.
This year, returning to hang out on the Bonelli website, I discovered a series of color «Tex», the «Color Tex» in fact, which now comes out every six months. A good opportunity on Ebay allows me to purchase the first 10 issues in one go, the 11th recently released on newsstands. And something clicks. The idea of going back to buy «Tex», perhaps for a short time, just to see if the desire to read comics has returned. An issue of «Color Zagor» released in August tickles me together with «Tex». Tex and Zagor: the legends of Italian comics «Zagor» was the first Bonelli character I read. My cousin had several and in the evenings, in the summer (it was the early 80s), we would each go to bed with a book to read, before sleep overtook us.
