In 2024, Tex Willer will finally become a Ranger! Hold on... hasn't he been a Ranger for 75 years of prestigious life in comic books? Sure he has, in the glorious classic series! But we have been publishing two monthly series since five years ago.

Our young hero has been an outlaw in the first sixty issues of Tex Willer. However, starting with n. 64, "Le cinque dita della Mano Rossa", he will begin his journey, not without formidable hurdles and nail-biting risky situations, to become at last a defender of the law.

That will happen in a galloping race through the first unforgettable Gianluigi Bonelli plots in a wonderful year of adventures. We will rediscover memorable characters such as El Diablo and his daughter, Florecita, the charming saloon owner Marie Gold, the journalist Joan Baker, the beautiful Aztec rebel Yogar, the wily Captain Lowett, the cruel Bill Mohican, and the cunning Piute shaman Wabinoga. All that also, along with brand new enemies and friends we'll have the pleasure to meet again, such as Tesah, Jeff Weber, Arkansas Joe, Kit Carson, and Mr. Marshall, who will pin on Tex's chest his first silver star!

However, the main series won't be undone and will start in high octane with two adventures in the Great North. The first story sees Tex and Jim Brandon searching for a missing Red Jackets patrol. The second brings a sensational return to the Rainier, the cursed mountain that conceals eerie secrets on its entrails. After that, we'll have a long, riveting saga where our pards will confront four female avangers.

All that, not to mention the many special albums that increase our offering, featuring important supporting characters such as El Morisco and Jesse James!
