Ballistic Discount: Given the presence of tons of sleazy guys willing to sell large quantities of guns to hostile Indians in the series, the series has a few examples.Advertisement: Tex Willer, or Tex, is a very popular Italian western comic.Created by Gian Luigi Bonelli and Aurelio Galleppini in 1948, it became a success thanks to its beautiful artwork, fine cast of likable characters and engrossing stories, and it is still ongoing.
Tex Willer Comics Series Has AThe comic depicts the adventures of a heroic Texas Ranger named Tex Willer who rights wrongs in the Old West with his snarky friend Kit Carson, his resourceful son Kit Willer and his trusty Navajo ally Tiger Jack. The comic portrays Native Americans sympathetically and has deep, thought-provoking storylines with a good balance of humour and drama. The story began with Texs early adventures, and he gradually aged in subsequent years while gaining friends, fathering a son and attracting the attention of many notorious and dangerous villains (and villainesses) along the way. ![]() Tex Willer provides examples of: Action Girl: Rarely seen, but theyre here. One of the earliest and perhaps best examples is Lupe, a Mexican girl who Tex rescued. She accompanied him during his trip in Mexico to save Montales, saved his life at least twice (and in turn Tex tried his best to save her when she was in danger). Always Chaotic Evil: The Hualapai people: every time they show up, theyre trying to kill our heroes and bragging about it. Justified each and every time: the first time it was a group that Mefisto had brainwashed into working for him as Mooks and adoring him as a god, the second time it was a small group of survivors of the group of the first time that still worked for Mefisto even after getting almost exterminated by the Navajos, and the third time we have a large band of warriors who are pissed at what Tex and the Hualapai War did to their people and have just found a charismatic leader. Among the Hualapai, Manitary (the charismatic leader mentioned above) takes the cake. At first hes presented as a Well-Intentioned Extremist, who believes himself on a Mission From the Great Spirit to unite all the Indians and take back their land. Then we learn from a Paiute shaman hes murdering anyone who dares to question him (said shaman barely escaped an attempted murder for cautioning against following him), and hes actually planning to subjugate the Navajos. Advertisement: Animal Assassin: Ohh boy, the series has a long and varied list. Other notable assassins included a ferocious gorilla, coguars, alligators, tarantulas, panthers and killer trained buzzards. Anti-Villain: Ricardo Mendoza in the Rangers of Patagonia story. From the same story we have lieutenant (later major) Belmonte, in a strange variation: hes a racist who despises Indians as savages, and would like nothing better than to get rid of the tribes of Patagonia, but as long as they arent hostile hes content to let them be, and has a strict sense of justice. Its said sense of justice that, at the end, prompts him to try and shoot Tex and former soldier Julio, as the former had arrived to help the Argentine army but ditched them when it became clear that peace with the Indians was impossible and the latter was a deserter, getting him shot by Mendoza. Arch-Enemy: Steve Dickard, a.k.a. Mefisto, and his son Yama are the worst enemies of Tex. Arms Dealer: We have both gun shop owners and Gangland Gun Runners, the latter often involved in plans to cause Indian Wars so they or their associates will be able to move in their lands after the army stomp the insurrection. The second kind is firmly in place as the most despicable villains of the series due to two of them, Brennan and Teller, trying to murder Tex by causing a smallpox epidemic among the Navajos (Texs Roaring Rampage of Revenge was something epic, and what he did to the last survivor when he finally caught up with him is described in the Nightmare Fuel page). Proper care for the animals is always a part of the narrative when a long travel is being depicted, and pushing a horse past its regular limit is a very last resort for the heroes (who even then show consideration for their steeds - more details on the trope page), while bad guys that do it often get their mounts, and themselves by proxy, killed. Badass Crew: Especially in the 100th volume, where almost all of Texs pals are gathered to stop a gang of criminals.
