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 ...
