Tex Willer

Tex Willer is an Italian Western hero created by Gian Luigi Bonelli and Aurelio Galleppini — a rugged frontier ranger who rides the American West, dispensing justice alongside his Navajo blood brother Kit Carson and his adopted Apache tribe.

Born from the creative partnership of Gian Luigi Bonelli and Aurelio Galleppini, Tex Willer arrived in 1949 — a Golden Age figure who found a home in the Swedish anthology Seriemagasinet, published by Centerförlaget through the early 1950s. Sharing pages with a colorful roster that includes Kerry Drake, Steve Roper, and Kilroy, this character kept genuinely adventurous company in an era when anthology comics were the heartbeat of the medium. With a key collector issue among his appearances, Tex Willer carries real significance for Golden Age enthusiasts and for anyone tracing the fascinating international currents that shaped comics history during those foundational years.
