Tex Willer is the main fictional character of the Italian comics series Tex, first published in Italy in 1948. The series is an Italian take on the American Old West.

What kind of guy was Tex? For the most part, he was tutto d'un pezzo (a straight shooter). But sometimes it would depend on who was writing the story.

It's fascinating to see where the idea of Tex Willer came from and how it evolved. We get to know the creators, Gianluigi Bonelli and Aurelio Galleppini (pen name Galep).

Gianluigi and Sergio Bonelli both wrote Tex stories, but they had different approaches, and their relationship was complex on a personal level. We learn about what inspired the images of the countryside where Tex and Carson would roam.
