The tex "modern" private investigator smell and prisoner of his myth (2) Tex

With Mauro Boselli, the tendency to 'humanization' reaches its climax in my opinion.
In fact, the hero, probably the orphan of his own mythology, it becomes more and more a character from the others of his (I would say to them, the other characters) events.
On the other hand more and more often no longer present and the past glory of its size, as the ranger who gives his name as the series continues to shine by its absence, is compensation for the time, and in my view annoyingly, celebrated by the speeches of other characters (or real players, according to my way of thinking) is not simply reaffirms how great, how mythical, how famous, how strong it was Tex or better. Tex celebrations aside, the characters of the stories multiply but often missing are the pard, which rarely are present in all its history, especially among recent. The bad guys are very charismatic and hard in his early stories, themes and unusual and often interesting, as atypical, but unfortunately the brilliance of the dialogues and the actual presence of the pard beyond the celebrations severely lacking, but this trend has increased since Boselli is the main writer: his Tex, his Carson, Kit and his Tiger's other characters are very different and much less interesting than those of previous writers, and present in much smaller measure quantitatively. The plots are not bad, the problem is the excess of flashbacks, flashfowards and other "special effects" narrative, which often appear forced and placed specifically to demonstrate the technique of the writer and not because they are the narration itself, and of course that I find the defect Main display of the culture's sake, the great self-congratulation that the author can be seen over and over again, which seems to understand that Tex should be having to handle the magnitude of Boselli and not vice versa. Personally I would say that even if it is true that the magnitude is different, the author seems to have taken the issue as opposed to the way in my view correct.
I will not go further, I say that I have great confidence in the authors who will alternate with Boselli, especially Manfredi and Faraci, in ensuring that the rangers return to a size closer to the original magic formula that made a myth of Tex and not writing a character who may or must at all costs to show off their knowledge, their preparation, their professional technique at the cost of distorting the whole.
I would just like to reiterate that everything I wrote is not to be taken as an objective but as my personal opinion, the old player and true fan of the series, and certainly many will disagree with my point of view. But it is exactly the difference in points of view of comparing the salt, which in turn is one of the pleasures of caring for a small space on the things you love.

The "modern" private investigator to smell himself and prisoner of (1)

The "modernity texiana" by Claudio Nizzi


Among the many schools of thought about Tex "modern", there is no doubt that he sees the rangers, Olympic demigod or titanium according to the previous interpretations, engaged Pirandello in a search page from the mid-eighties, a period whose Tex, orphaned character of a great father, expecting to find another Giovanni Luigi Bonelli, of course, without finding it, finding instead an unexpected and sudden fall to Earth. No more Hercules or Prometheus, but through a sudden and rapid escape from the myth, the hero is transformed into a human being altogether. Even tra i più brillanti, mi verrebbe da aggiungere con un pizzico di malignità.
Con Claudio Nizzi, l'uomo Tex prevale con grande chiarezza sull'eroe Tex. E magicamente il pallino delle sue storie passa dalle sue mani a quelle dei suoi nemici. Le vicende di Tex si tingono di giallo, i misteri o presunti tali iniziano a pullulare, ma, come è stato fatto giustamente notare, non sono più misteri ingenui alla “Satania”, sono misteri “impegnativi”, forse troppo per il nostro ranger appena umanizzato, quasi fosse un novello Pinocchio. I suoi nemici prendono il sopravvento nell'economia delle avventure, ed il ranger più famoso d'Italia principia a brancolare sempre più spesso nel buio. Per fortuna non loses the ability to shoot and get into fights, unfortunately lost his usual intuition that guided him very well so far. There are numerous stories in which Night Eagle is unable to solve the riddle itself, the solution of which is as flat-spotted face, right in time for some beneinformato and providential "deus ex machina", also there have been countless stories where Tex is saved in extremis by those who are to pass in those parts of the Indian cavalry to friends, from children to old ladies.
The enemies get larger, they take over, manipulating our hero like a puppet, lead him by the nose wherever they want, except seeing snatch victory by a stroke of fortuitous luck. Consequently
Tex, bereft of his charisma, passes by authoritarianism and begins to issue "orders" to Kit Carson and Tiger (just between us, annoying inconsistency, as a friend to help you because you estimate does not impart orders) becomes the "boss" of pards, his heroic stature seems to be part of the past, making a simple business card, while the figure shows a threshold after another.
good stories out there, especially in the early years, but they are not, as noted above, the stories of a mythical demigod and bold, are only the vicissitudes of a man (undeserved?) Kissed by luck madam and preceded by an (often as one would say undeserved) reputation that surrounds him, often, paradoxically, makes it visible to its enemies like a fly in milk and makes his opponents play in attack and throw him, forcing him to bring home the victory scoring chance in a network often play out in plenty of time expired.
Tex is still a comic book and many interesting stories retain a certain charm, but the magnitude of the character is quite different from that of the same character written by Gianluigi or Sergio Bonelli, alias Nolitta.

texiane Tradition and modernity: a point of view clearly part [2]

Part Two

The Tex Guido Nolitta: a great humanity against the wounds of God

We come to the great Guido Nolitta, aka Sergio Bonelli, the second author who has tried his hand in the writing of stories Rangers, alongside his father in a work to shake your wrists: Tex write but not limited to, he can become the support of his father, who was often helpful to his son when the latter was facing difficulties in writing, for example immediately after the first few numbers of Zagor. I think enough thanks to the editor this undertaking has been a source of great concern and pain head, but sometimes the pain of the head can be very fruitful, such as when Zeus gave birth to Athena from the skull directly at a big headache, caparisoned at all points. To me the parallels between the two cases, there is everything. The Tex
Nolitta, seen in retrospect, that is to say in hindsight, it confirms in my opinion was a great character, the heroic stature very impressive, although the differences in the way of writing than the parent were many and quite significant . Meanwhile, Tex is very hard, maybe even harder than his father but lost much of his easygoing air. Conversely his vocabulary and his way of expressing heavy and become much more serious (dare) (And this despite Nolitta enter several "curtains" funny) and somewhat rhetorical, as well as the expression of abstract values \u200b\u200band ideals, all concrete instead of the hero's father's both: the ranger Louis G. Bonelli is a positive character who drags events, Tex Nolitta is a great hero who is destined to defeat, however, because the rot against generalized interests against the dirty, negative against an evil world and there is no victory, only an unremitting struggle, tireless and full of illusory success , who regularly turn out to be mixed with bitterness and a sense of helplessness. Nolitta Tex turns into a hero inflexible and rigid, willing to follow his personal code of ethics even at the cost of life when there is everything to gain from the stall or come to terms, which since its first story becomes a fully fledged ranger and later an Indian chief paternalistic and loving, as aware of the inevitable defeat and the imminent end of his world.
Nolitta Many stories are beautiful and also several of the masterpieces: not only, some characters created by this great author are among the most popular series, many memorable years of their appearance: the lone dell'West and El Muerto are examples more immediate, but of course many others would have to be mentioned. His masterpieces were born on Tex, however, as his stories , containing cioè i suoi topoi, come l'amicone che si rivela essere poi il vero cattivo e come il vicecomandante giovane e borioso che prende improvvisamente il posto di un comandante esperto e ragionevole. Il Tex di Nolitta si sporca e si deve lavare, radere, fatica, ha sete, ha sonno, suda come i comuni mortali, ma questo non sminuisce la sua grandezza, anzi, il contrario, la esalta: Tex non è un semidio armato di cuore di leone e stinchi di santo, è un essere umano grandioso che titanicamente combatte il male in un mondo magmatico e proteiforme, dove nulla è quello che sembra e dove ogni vittoria è fondamentalmente il preludio ad una sconfitta: un eroe grandissimo che si staglia contro uno sfondo molto grigio, per non dire quasi nero.
Tex does not move the story, Tex the fight to the end without falling and remains standing despite a real cyclone is sweeping down upon him and many around him who placed their hopes in him.
Leaving aside the often naive confidence that Tex has to give away to the enemy, as opposed to the distrust of intuition and that its correspondent Gian Luigi Bonelli, the bottom is a detail but still very significant: I understand perfectly Nolitta that would be an example to follow as the author, because of the unorthodoxy of some of his choices, including that of neglect in favor of Carson or Tiger Kit paired with Tex Willer. Although some of these tarnish the myth created by her father, Tex that arises è tutt'altro che un personaggio poco interessante, anzi, e quando i pennelli sono quelli di Fusco, di Ticci o di Galep vengono fuori delle coppie autore disegnatore da ANTOLOGIA. Chiamarle memorabili sarebbe francamente riduttivo.
