More memories ... The Warehouse

Here I do not want to talk about memories of the books of Zagor, but for those more properly related to my relationship with the character.

I already said that in those years I attended the daily chapel of my country and there I became famous for Zagor my passion, so much so that I was nicknamed precisely "Zagor" : many boys turned to me as just so!
Once that happened, in the presence of the priest of the Oratory, one of my friends said I "joked" Zagor calling me (he did wrong verb meaning and instead say that I had "known" as well): The priest warned him that you should never play anyone!
When he was told that I was very happy with that nickname, then some time to call me, I use it too ... jokingly, of course!

However, some other boys were jealous of my name and then, yes, they mocked me: taking advantage of the fact that I was very skinny at the time (those who know me now you do not say!) Called me "Zagor-without-muscles" ... But with an attitude of the intellectual superiority and pity, I let them do ... The name of Zagor was still used to identify, for better or for worse!

Of course, I had also made "my" dark !
In this photograph of August 1971 (when the summer began actually collecting Zagor) see me in perfect (so to speak) "held Zagor" in sleeveless T-shirt, blue jeans and dark faces the treacherous enemy of the moment (my father) in the heart of an imaginary forest of Darkwood!


course, the blue and white striped tank top was not maximum zagoriani , but I was happy all the same ... Once I tried also to make me a jacket that could resemble that of Zagor: I cut the sleeves in an old red sweater and I had applied over a yellow circle with an eagle painted on paper, but it did not work long as the arms are tore through the motions ... patience!
With or without official jersey, my Aahyakkk! continued to throw them wherever I found myself playing alone or with friends, regardless of the people looking at me so strange ...

Do Bloods Get Along With Surenos



Allow me a small digression from the narrative of the events I'm doing my "grow" with Zagor, to invite you to read this recent blog post on the beautiful Moreno Burattini (current editor and writer with the Dark Prince of the Spirit) that I have seen involved in a visit to a truly "special" ...

The apple never falls far from the tree

So Marina Berlusconi decided to put an end to what we had all wondered how this was possible. Then, at least, had been driven by Silvio Mentana in person, you would like to?

Zagor and extraterrestrials

No, I do not mean to speak of Akkroniani, the evil aliens addressed by Zagor in the classic, ultimate adventure written by its creator Guido Nolitta / Sergio Bonelli.
The extraterrestrials are the ones I want to talk, just as evil addressed by the Commander Straker SHADO in a popular TV series of the 70s, surely all remember.
But that has to do with the SHADO Zagor, you say? Nothing, of course ...
But it so happens that in the years when I began my passion for the Spirit with the Hatchet, other "passions" in my heart. One of these was, in fact, that for the British television series UFO
At that time, among other goodies were also released a series of school notebooks with covers dedicated to that show, and my parents bought me some (below you can see the cover).


One of these notebooks is also connected to my passion for Zagor.
At the time, the episodes of Zagor saga that captivated me most were those with implications fantastic / horror and I decided to compile a notebook on which I reported, word for word and with some of my "license literary "(even with contamination, inspired by Mister No!), those events.
The book I chose was, in fact, one of those series of UFO
; As you can see from some of the pages listed below, the stories are taken from the adventures "The Wolf Man", "Molok", "Zagor against the Vampire" and "mysterious waters."
; Writing is my of that time, with some additions from my sister, who helped me complete the last episode.

I remember that I used this book mainly to read it to my younger cousins, making them believe that it was written directly by those who lived those adventures (Mr. Stubb, Professor Talbot, Dr. Metrevelic and Prof. Weiser) and that I had found by chance in an old attic ...
At that time very little was enough to make beautiful moments of our game ...

Memory ... The investigation

www.spiritoconlascure.it On the forum, my friend Joseph / One Eyed Jack asked me how do I get such a great memory for my "stories" zagoriani. Jokingly I told him that the more I become older and my memory "historic" is strengthened at the expense of the "short" ...

But it is true that zagoriani my memories, especially those of childhood are very vivid!
For example, I remember that by attending the oratory working in my parish, I felt very important and the focus of attention when the older boys were still shocked to hear my list from memory titles in the series ... Even today I remember them all, at least until the books came out in 1977 ...
For each book, also, I remember him as a special reconnected to those who bought or traded, or what was going on in my life at that moment ...
I want to do some 'examples (besides those already mentioned in previous posts), some of which I think will make you smile ...

The book "The Revenge of Zagor " I remember it exchanged with a texiano giving in return the book to Tex "Nightmare" (which I got rid of without too much trouble because - despite the title and the cover dedicated to him in that comic-Mephisto did not appear even ...).
The book "Footsteps of Titan " I exchanged with one of the first Fantastic Four Editoriale Horn.
The book "The Long Night " I bought my dad one day when I was in bed with rubella.
The book "The Wolf Man " necklace Zenith luckily I found him abandoned in the street during a bike ride (too bad he ruined the cover and missing the first ten pages, then when I bought it eliminai reprint Written red).
The book "Christmas 45 caliber " I gave it to a friend, missing the first page (this, however, I kept).
The book " Zagor says ..." and the following (the first year of purchase as reprints) were provided to me by reading my neighbor across the building which, in turn, he had borrowed by a work colleague.
The book "Jack Mohican", just bought, put it in my suitcase and took it with me to a ski school.
The book " Molok " I remember the first time I read it deafened by the noise from the amusement park outside my house on the feast of the country.
After reading the book "Flying Snow ," a friend of mine took me by the mad sell imitations Zagor on skis back and forth along the courtyard of the apartment building where I lived.
The book "Anguish " I had to buy it again because, after bringing him to school and carelessly left under the bench, did not find him anymore.
The book "against Zagor the vampire "I consumed him literally spend their afternoons in the summer of '72 to read and reread the newly installed benches along a tree-lined street near my house. The cover of
"The night of the magicians " noted in the "near future" of the register before, I remember that gave way to a discussion with my friend that while he insisted that Zagor would surely be dead, pierced by the knife of the priest Voodoo, I argued that it was entirely possible.
remember the summer of '73 I met in the village square to another guy who collected Zagor and had already bought the book "Black Flag " gave me a preview of the news that the price was increased to 250 Pounds.
In a late afternoon in December, again in '73, I was about to begin tasks and resting on the bookshelf at home I saw the book "Tragic carnival", evidently bought my mother a few hours ago: I grabbed him immediately, but my mom stepped in and allowed me to read it only after all tasks.
About the adventure of "The march of despair " I remember another discussion with another friend who had started collecting the first issues of Mister No summer 1975, alleging that Mister No was better because of Zagor, as well as strong and brave, he was a "womanizer" ... Although in reality I do not care about that Zagor was not a womanizer, I could not bear to see it minimized my hero, and I said to my friend who also annoyed Zagor not pulled back with women and showed the cartoons to the kiss That Frida ... could not say anything ... It's good that the adventure had gone out a few months before the series of Mister No!
After seeing the cover of the register "Zagor Supermike against" the enemy that had a belt with the emblem of the "M" on the buckle, made myself an old belt, you attacked white adhesive label and wrote in the letter M and I played for a few days to be ... supermark! And here already imagine the laughter that will make my friends from the forum www.spiritoconlascure.it supermark ... especially you!

And here I still ...
At this point, to conclude and return to the initial request of his friend Joseph, I can answer a bit 'more seriously, saying that, in fact, the stories that until now I have told in this blog belong (along, of course, to many others that have nothing to do with Zagor) of the fondest memories of my childhood and, as such, can never be erased from my memory ...

Pediatrician Toronto Open Sunday Toronto



After rejoiced at the news of the exit, in a few months, the first issue of Zagor full color, another surprise awaited me in de "The revolt of the trappers ...
In the second cover was given a notice with the header " FRIENDS WARNING! "in which it was announced that the authors of Zagor had decided to promote a ' investigation (just as it was called) that would allow them to ascertain their preferences and desires of readers.
followed the invitation to contribute to this important initiative by answering a series of questions.
But, as the Latin proverb, last but not least ... the real surprise was at the bottom: the warning ensure that all those who had written before May 15 would be sent, Free, the special issue entitled "color" Indian Circus "!
Happy for this additional good news, with a little help from my sister (I never wrote, wrapped and mailed a letter before then!) Built it and I sent the questionnaire , anxiously awaiting the outcome of my novel enterprise.
Below you can see the inside cover of the register, with the warning, the questionnaire and the answers I gave, written in pencil next to my sister ( How long more Zagor? Since February 1970, What adventures are you particularly liked? the footsteps of "Titan" - The Wolf Man - Iron Man; addition to Zagora and Cico, reading what other people encountered in our series would like to review another episode? Titan - Iron-Man - The Vulture; read other comics? What? Yes Tex and Mickey Mouse) ...
Months passed, in a continuous keep in touch with friends who had sent the reply to me as' investigation We were curious to know who would be the first to get the book ... Finally, the book in question appeared on newsstands and in stores ... and a few days later it was also delivered to my friends, one after another ... except by myself!
Then, unable to endure a situation like that (the others had the book and I do not!), And despairing of receiving it, too, got permission from my parents to buy it newsstand. Which I did immediately.
But a complete hoax was waiting for me: I had purchased my copy of "Indian Circus" in a newsagent in a village near mine, where I was walking with my mom and my sister. After removing me without even looking good inside the book (which from then on I learned to do!) Found that the printing of the color was "off schedule", with the result that there was watching the cartoon as the effect of an ongoing shake ...
The day after I returned from the newspaper that, probably because it was not her regular customer, refused to take my place the defective copy (justified himself by saying that first of all he was not sure I had bought from him and then he had no other to be replaced).
Providence But there is also the little things ... And so, after some days the postman delivered to me by the book speditomi Publisher: beautiful, colorful and perfect in every way! Simply the Post Office had delayed a bit 'delivery compared to those of my friends.
Since that time, however, a lesson I've learned to never be too impulsive decisions and we must be able to wait ...

How Much Are Asics Pursuit 2 Worth

Zagor Fest!

In the early '70s there were two great political parties whose members snubbed each other those of the ... Eh? What? Christian Democrats and the Italian Communist Party? Noooo!
I'm talking about the party texiani and that of zagoriani !
At that time, at least where I lived, it was unlikely that a guy did more than a collection of comics and then (from the point of view of heroes in the future would be called "Bonelli") or collected or collected Tex Zagor. Period! Or were you a fan of Tex or were Zagor! Those few who collected Il Piccolo Ranger or Commander Mark were not any!
Of course it was only a "healthy" rivalry between guys (a little 'as between Inter and Milan) and also allow easier exchange of those comics that I have already spoken. Each of the two "parties" believed that their hero was the best, but clearly it was only a matter of taste.
However, there was actually something which could go texiani rightly proud ... Something that Tex had and Zagor no ... Something that texiani tried to accuse the goliardic zagoriani ... This "something" was the No. 100 in color! In the series of Tex was released in February of 1969 the book "Supertex", which was then a really unique . And in June of 1972 would even out the reprint in the series "Three Stars". Instead, readers zagoriani would have to wait until October of 1973 to have in my hands the number 100 (presumably also in color) of your favorite comics! This marked a vital point for the team texiani!
However, in the March 1972 my sister bought me the book entitled "The Revolt of the trappers' ...
the back cover was a "strange" advertising: Cico, dressed as a painter and stained with color from head to foot, to show readers the picture that had just finished painting and that he was leaning on a wooden stand. This "framework" was the cover of the register of Zagor that would emerge in the coming month of June and reported in a large red circle written these words: "ROLL SPECIAL COLORS"! Cico, For its part, announced the festive event and invited readers book ever since a copy at newsstands.

What happened? At that time, in which they had absolutely no news on the publisher's editorial decisions, we zagoriani we could not understand why this wonderful surprise ... Years later, was that the same Sergio Bonelli said he thus wanted to reward the players for the success of the era were sales by paying to Zagora.
And since then, no texiano could no longer bear the fact that "his" series was the only one with a number valued color ...

Blood Blisters After Flossing Teeth

difficult piece ...

I mentioned that when I was small, the collections of comic strips were "manufactured" by the oldest trade system: bartering with friends and acquaintances. This system quite "closed", of course, did not allow a particular supply of parts and "material" ...
fact in the mid-'70s, in addition to the previously mentioned No 1, there were other "pieces" particularly (and inexplicably, I might add) are difficult to find, both in the edition Zenith Written in the Red : n. 6 ("The broken lance"), no 33 ("House of Terror") and no 67 ("The King of Eagles") seemed to have disappeared from circulation ...


The recovery of these pieces was, for my part, usually accidental: I recovered during the first middle school, by the brother of one of my classmate, the second through the old aunt a friend, the third from my barber of confidence ... Other pieces were inexplicably hard to find nos. 4 and 10 ("Yellow Raven" and "Dance of the Dark"): they were the ones that made me finally complete the collection, but I could find through a friend of the family only in 1977!

Japanese Genital Exam Vid

A year later ... A collection

One afternoon in 1972 ...
Collecting Zagor for almost a year. At that time the money going around in the house were not many, and my mother just passed Lirette those 400 that were used to buy the Zenith monthly and reprinting red lettering.
numbers missing in my collection I brought them to the exchange system: most of my friends collected Tex, Commander Mark or Super-Heroes Editoriale Corno So when one of them had some Zagor that he did not care, pass it to me in exchange for other books that did not interest me. Ask the arrears to the publishing house was, us kids, something "outside world" at that time ...
Well, that afternoon I had in my pockets to buy the 200 lire Zagor that month and I had gone to a kiosk in a nearby town (where they keep holding them in the comics "good" - as I said in my country the retailer of newspapers and was also above a shop selling fruit and vegetables!) for the purchase.
arrived there, before asking for the new issue of my eye fell Zagor on No A reissue of the Red Written ! There, in plain sight, among many other comics! The legendary No One that none of my friends had and never before have I had in my hands!


Although I knew that buying it, I ran the risk of not being able to buy the novel, after a moment's hesitation I grabbed him and I paid him with two coins in my pocket.
he got home, I told my No mother who had purchased the 1 of the series instead of the "new" because it was this unique opportunity to have him in my collection and that if he had not been able to acquire the most unusual, patience ...
Probably my arguments were very convincing because, despite my mother at first had confined itself to taking note of my decision a few days later it was she (santa woman!) that I bought the Zenith that month!

(In memory of my dear mother: 1926 - 2004)

Substituting All-purpose Flour In Bread Machine

in "society"

The next month I bought the book entitled "The Tin Star, "which ended the story drawn by Donatelli and also bought the No 15's Red Written reprint "Iron-Man."


Then, by chance, I learned that a kid my neighbor had Zagor many books (the entire sequence from No. 2 to No. 43) purchased by his elder brother who was no longer interested in the collection. So we agreed that we would have continued the two of us, with what we today would call a "weird deal": each of us would have bought a number other month!
Now, since I already had the numbers 73 and 74, he bought the 75. I caught the 76 ... but the passion was so much I bought also the 77 (although it was not my "turn ")... and did well! Why in the fall of 1971 that my friend moved away with the full range of his brother and the No. 75, and never saw him again!
I stayed with my new series of four numbers (called the necklace Zenith Gigante ) and with one phone number of the reprint (the next exit I had not taken it already had in the original collection in town) . Since then I went on to be the only collection of unpublished and started to buy reprints from n. 20 ("Hell of the living ")...

Visit Schedule At Rikers

The first issue

little over a year after my first "contact" with Zagor, on a hot summer afternoon, I went with my mum from my greengrocer country that had also newsagent's license (ah, the good old days ...) and there I asked to acquisitive a comic book.
My mom asked the lady in the store that there were comics that might be suitable for an eight year old like me ... The lady picks up by shelving behind a register and a register of the Captain Mark of Zagora and showed them to me ... Perhaps remembering my first "meeting" than a year before or maybe just because fascinated by the strange name of the character, I had no doubts ... and chose Zagor!
It was called of the register "The Curious Mister Smith," which ended in an adventure designed by Ferri Gallienus (the one that gave the title dawn) and start a new one designed by Frank Donatelli ("Paradise Gate"). Both stories were written by Guido Nolitta (I only discovered many years later that it was the nom de plume Sergio Bonelli) and the fortune he had wished that I could see in one the two major comic artists in the series ...
