The volume illustrates the evolution of the western
within Italian comic book publishing. The anthology, the largest ever conceived
in Italy dedicated to this genre, collects 36 stories published in various
periodicals from 1948 to 1983, and sees the most important Italian authors at
work: Torelli and Zuffi, Berardi and Milazzo, Martina and Paparella (Pecos
Bill), the EsseGesse (Capitan Miki), D'Antonio and Calegari (History of the
West), Mancuso, Montanari and Monti (Alamo Kid), Nizzi and Boscarato (Larry Yuma),
Grecchi and Fusco (Lone Wolf), Jacovitti (Cocco Bill), Castelli and Terenghi
(Pedrito El Drito), and Bottaro, Cavazzano, Cossio, Cossu, Di Gennaro,
Serpieri, Fenzo, Freghieri, Landolfi, Mantelli, Marcello, Milani, Nicolò,
Quinto, Rebuffi, Rotundo, Sicomoro, Tarquinio, Uggeri and many others ... The
volume brings to light authors, stories, episodes and characters that have not
been reprinted for a long time, and offers readers a historical-critical look
at that world: each story is in fact introduced and contextualized by the
curators, by experts and, where possible, from the words of the authors
themselves.
