Αυτό κι αν ειναι μια τεραστια έκπληξη για όλους μας!!!
Επιτέλους ο αγαπημένος μας ήρωας για πρώτη φορά στα Αγγλικά.
Ενώ στην Ιταλία κυκλοφορεί ακόμη και βρίσκεται στο τευχος 562 εμεις στα ελληνικά έχουμε να δουμε νεο επισόδειο από το 1975 που ολοκληρώθηκε σε 260 τευχη από τις εκδόσεις Ανεμοδουρά.
Ειναι λοιπόν τρομερό το νέο για την κυκλοφορία αυτή και μαλιστα όπως διαβαζω στη σελιδα τους στο facebook :
This is the first issue of Zagor in English (Soft Cover) by Acestroke.
This edition will follow the original Italian format of 128 pages per
episode for the first 23 numbers, and then it will drop to the usual 96
pages. Original design and chronology.
Προφανως έχει κυκλοφορήσει ένα τευχος που αναφερεται στον χαρακτηρα του ζαγκορ, τους φιλους και εχθρους του και ότι αλλο πρεπει να γνωριζουμε για τον "θρυλο των ευρωπαικών κομικ" όπως τον αναφέρει στο εξώφυλλο.
 | is real name is Patrick Wilding, but the Indians |
| call
him Za-gor-te-nay, "The Spirit with the Hatchet". On the old American
frontier in the first half of the last century, Zagor fights to maintain
peace, protect the Indian tribes and hunt down criminals. Son of an
army official retiring to live as a |
|  |
| pioneer
in the forests of the north-east, Patrick Wilding sees his parents die
at the hands of a band of Abenaki Indians, led by a certain Salomon
Kinsky. Taken in by a strange vagabond, the boy grows up with only one
thought on his mind: revenge. When he is old enough to fulfill this he
finds out that his Father had himself slaughtered many Indians, and the
boy's understanding of the relativity of the concepts of good , evil and
justice compels him to transform himself (with his accomplices the
Sullivans, a family of acrobats who are his image makers) into
Za-Gor-Te-Nay. Better still, shortened, Zagor. He is a kind of avenger
always ready to side with the weak and the oppressed, whether red, white
or black, whoever they may be. Moving his shack to an island surrounded
by quick-sand in a marshy area of Darkwood Forest, Zagor begins his
work as a peacemaker. |
| He
becomes a veritable myth for the Indians, who believe he is an immortal
spirit; he is also respected by the whites who know of his many skills.
Dressed in his unmistakable Native American Super-Hero costume, with
the symbol of a thunder bird on his chest, he maintains law and order,
using a pistol, but mostly his rough stone hatchet that he handles so
skillfully. Agile, strong and athletic, Zagor exploits these talents to
make people believe that he is the messenger of peace from the Great
Spirit. He is not a solitary and arrogant avenger: quite the contrary!
Loyal and generous, as well as having a vagabond soul, Zagor has
numerous friends and is ready to rush, accompanied by his |
| faithful
friend Cico, to wherever there is need of him. Woe betide the wicked
man who hears the echo of his battle cry: the man's fate is already
sealed! With these elements that are a clever mix of Tarzan, Robin Hood,
Don Quixote, Davy Crockett and the Phantom, Sergio Bonelli, alias Guido
Nolitta, started a saga in 1961 that is still evolving today. It has
successfully won the favor of a large section of the public, thanks to
the variety of stories which, beginning with a Western backdrop, rangefrom
horror themes to science fiction, from magic to psychological tales.
The character has been graphically created by the skilful hand of
Gallieno Ferri. |  |
