Almanacco del West 1994

The Almanac opens with two columns in which we review the western-themed films, videos and books released in the last twelve months, and then continues with articles and dossiers dedicated to the Apaches, the Kit Carson of comics, spaghetti westerns and Renzo Calegari, designer of the unpublished Texian episode published here. "The ballad of Zeke Colter" begins when, in the snow-covered Rocky Mountains, while Carson waits at Rock Spring, Tex meets an old friend: a hunter of beavers known twenty years earlier. This is Zeke Colter, who remained in those wild places together with his elderly Indian wife Anitra Zoppa. The trapper is threatened by a gang of scoundrels convinced that he has discovered a rich gold deposit, and the Ranger does not hesitate to side with him. The homage attached to it also contributes to making the Almanac truly special: a 64-page volume with the biographical notes of all Bonelli's authors!
