256 strips - b/w - Bonelli striscia (17 x 8cm)
L. 100

This number exists in two versions: the first, very rare, almost impossible to find, contains strips N. 1/8; the second, more common, contains strips N. 4/11. Probably the publisher prepared a first limited edition also inserting the strips N. 1/3 obtained from unsold copies. But since these were very few, once exhausted, they used the 8 subsequent strips, from N. 4 to 11. This explains the mystery of the double version of the
first number.

Moreover, this number also exist in three variants (on TuttoBonelli its cited 2 but there are actually 3) that differ from each other only by the back cover:

  • Backcover #1 has the advertising of the following Raccolta Collana Arcobaleno N. 2.
  • Backcover #2 has the advertisement of "Tex Raccolta I serie" N. 1. (this one probably contains strips N. 1/8)
  • Backcover #3 has the advertisement of "Tex Raccolta I serie" N. 2.

For over a month New York is under the nightmare of terror. Robbery, attacks on the bank branches, wild aggressions, all happen with a rhythm that reminds the years in which the gangs of Al Capone, Baby-face and Joe Two-guns terrorized. One morning, a car stops in front of the "Worlds bank"...
