Tex Willer

Few names carry the weight of Western legend quite like Tex Willer, and this Bronze Age incarnation — debuting in Futura #3 in 1972 under the hands of Annibale Casabianca and Edmond Fernández Ripoll — brought that storied name to the pages of Semic S.A. across a remarkable 31-year run. With 94 catalog appearances spread across Rodeo, Futura, and Spécial Rodéo, this is a character with real staying power, sharing pages with a colorful roster that includes Kit Carson, Zembla, and the fiery Johnny Storm and Jane Storm. Two of those appearances have earned key-issue recognition, marking genuine milestone moments for collectors who follow the trail. If you have a soft spot for the frontier spirit of Bronze Age European comics, Tex Willer is a name well worth saddling up for.
