Brandy Bill the Fearless

This western adventure comic book strip with the exploits of the fearless trapper Brendy Bill with stories and scripts by Dante Daini and drawings by Guido Buzzelli (also artist of the covers). The series was interrupted between #24 and #25 for two months, probably also due to the death of the author of the texts, the editor Dante Daini, who died of a heart attack on July 5, 1950. In the last pages comic stories by Enver Bongrani and others were printed. Announced for September 1950 a new series “I moschettieri del Re” but was not found.

The comic book was published in 1950 with issue #1 released on April 30, 1950, and ending with issue #30 on December 30, 1951. It was published in Rome, Italy by the Albi Eroici publishing house under the direction of Alberto Crucillà. Each issue contained 16 black & white pages with color covers.
