Big Davy was a short lived but interesting series that
presented the adventures of Davy Crockett, one of the mythical figures of
American history, always accompanied by his faithful rifle "Betsy".
The texts were by G. L. Bonelli, the drawings of a Renzo Calegari novice, but
already very good at making the atmosphere and the suggestions of that epic world.
A curiosity: the series had the title "Big Davy" because, at the
time, there was already, on the market, another comic book using the complete
the name of the legendary Crockett. The appendix presents some stories already
published previously by the publisher: "Il traitor" by Mario
Faustinelli and Hugo Pratt (n ° 1/15), "Il prof. Distrattini "by Guido
Da Passano (No. 15) and" Gli adoratori del Diavolo "by Gian Luigi
Bonelli and Enrico Bagnoli (Nos. 16/21).
This was a weekly publication which was first released on
June 16, 1957 and continued until November 3, 1957. A total of 21 issues were
published by the publishing house of Audace with publisher Tea Bonelli in
charge. It contained 32 black and white pages of
