The month of May 1991, then scored for fans zagoriani - and of course for myself - an important moment: Zagor was given to new writers. And just as new artists were coming to the aid of those who were already working on the series.
But for me, that month was "Zagor" important for two reasons ...
The first was the release in the series All Zagor, the episode "The Strange Mister Smith."
That was a big thrill for me: I found myself in the hands of the register with which the reprint exactly twenty years earlier (month, not months) I started my collection and it was my passion for this wonderful character!
The second reason was that my joy was so great that, to celebrate this anniversary of my own, I decided to write a letter to Sergio Bonelli Zagor to thank him for having created and all the beautiful stories he had written in addition, let me give you three suggestions:
1) to return as soon as the Baron Bela Rakosi, who I thought was - after Hellingen - the real nemesis of the Spirit with the Hatchet;
2) not too general to address topics on the page of the series Post All Zagor, but to speak in detail as it was meant a certain adventure, the psychology of the characters, and "misadventures" editorial related to a particular story;
3) to organize something special to worthily celebrate the 30th anniversary of the character.
Unfortunately, I waited in vain to look to see the content of my letter in the mail All Zagor ... Patience ... For me the important thing was writing it and hope Sergio Bonelli had read ...
Meanwhile, on the page's email Necklace Zenith, in the year 1991 appeared more news on new writers and illustrators of the Spirit with the Hatchet ...
In No 312, July, Bonelli Mauro Boselli presented in detail, describing it as a "spin doctors" specializing in the drafting of different headings, and many small book attached to the special, an avid traveler in inaccessible areas and wild and, finally, a great writer who, After ranged in various series of the publishing house, had landed to Zagora.
In No 313, August, Bonelli presented Ade Capone dwell in telling the amusing circumstances of their first meeting at the edge of a swimming pool ...
In No 314, September, was presented Alessandro Russo, entered the ranks of writers zagoriani through the good auspices of Antonio Serra (co-creator of Nathan Never) and the "new" designer Renato Polese, one of the columns of ' unforgotten History West Gino D'Antonio (curiously, the two authors share in this presentation, they were united by the fact that they did very little about Zagor: the first drama series, only three stories and drew up the second only one.)
Finally, in the mail the next No 315 Sergio Bonelli - after speaking of the now "infamous" (at least among fans zagoriani) Dark Zagor - decided to silence the voices that were turned on the abandonment of the series by Marcello Toninelli . Bonelli wrote that was not raised Toninelli from office or discharged, but had gone to his will! If it was true that "the same presented a radical proposal for a complete change of character of Zagor " judged negatively by the publishing house, was also true that Toninelli had gone " also because he had other interests and other initiatives in the field comics. "
Bonelli concluded, then, clear that the intention of the managers and supervisors of the series was to "Zagor return to the glories of the period Nolitta ...
The slogan was: "To renew Zagor, back to the roots! .
