This segment is about the film that was made of the Diabolik story. Not everyone was satisfied, including the Giussani sisters, but in those days, certain international standards had to be respected.

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.

This segment looks at Tex's son and "pards" (partners). And we get some answers about why he doesn't have a girlfriend.

Tex is a character who resembles his creator, who in turn also has his own points of reference. Let's also see what's behind a Tex cover.

It was crucial for the different cartoonists to keep to the Tex standard. This meant getting the hats right. There was also an amusing homage on the part of Sergio Bonelli to one of Sergio Leone's "spaghetti westerns."
