Notes: Contrary to what it would be logical to think, this is not the revival of the Audace - Furio Almirante series but a reprint of the stories from the original matrices, practically those published on the Audace in the war period and then re-proposed in the Audace - Furio Almirante series in N. 1/43. The internal administrations indicate the series as “Audace”, while on the cover there is the writing “Album Gigante”. The covers are unpublished and specially made by Aurelio Galleppini.

On backcover of Collana del Tex II Serie N. 52 there is advertisement for this series:

Who does not remember the wonderful adventures of X1, the mysterious boxer, the man with the iron fist, the hero of the most admired adventures that sent all the readers of the old «< Audace >> into raptures? Repeatedly our loyal readers have asked us to reprint them, and now we are- We are pleased to announce that we have prepared a magnificent giant volume including all these adventures, which will be on sale as a Christmas gift at the price of L. 250. Since for technical reasons it will only be distributed in newsstands in large cities, we ask readers who live in small towns wishing to purchase it, to send a money order for L. 250. The editorial staff will arrange their own postage to have it delivered to their homes

From the advertisement we can assume that the series was printed in smaller circulation since it was distributed only in larger cities therefore adding to its rarity.
