Tex - The Sentinel

A small review on Tex - La Sentinella which released in November 2007 and Tex 566 - Un soldato ritorna  which released in December 2007 which were colorised later.

Between Arizona and New Mexico, Tex and Carson are pursued by a band of Apaches, getting refuge in Mesa Lumber, a location full of rocky caves and mazes.

A Valley of rocky mountains which host them as a maze trap with apaches on their trail.

Surprisingly, it is there they discover an southern officer who lives as a hermit ignoring that the Civil War has ended.

After gaining his trust, Tex and Carson leads him to Fort Bayard with the goal of helping him return to civilization and his family. Tex and Carson eventually learn that the officer's family was decimated during the conflict and someone got hold of their properties, they  travel with him to Atlanta to solve the issue and take everything clean. 

Text: Claudio Nizzi

Art: Miguel Angel Repetto

Covers: Claudio Villa 

This artistic adventure can be read from two angles. The first focuses on the development and  leaves no room for doubt, and further proof of the lack of dynamism and motivation that comes raging Nizzi. In contrast to what is customary, the adventure not promising after the beginning disillusioned, however, goes on increasing interest as the action gets to develop despite a simple and predictable end. But above all else is clear proof of the weakness of the author, by revealing naïve (an officer from Southern hidden for twenty years in a cave) or introduce artifacts without coherence (a merchant comes fully to account for the family history of officer).

This treat comes your way: sequels, the changes, developments that the Civil War left the United States. This historical event is not a new theme in the author, but it is the first time dealing with post-war.

It's a whole new reality facing the Rickfield John (the official southern), the reality of a country that rebuilt and developed, the reality of a country that walked towards modernity that the times imposed. His arrival in Atlanta, his hometown, is demonstrative and bottom the faithful mirror of a new time and a return to civilization. But it is also time to discover dramas of the past and crimes the injustices committed, in a time when war served as justification for everything. It is also the time of a new social reality, the liberation of black that despite the end of slavery, which was not socially recognized.

Tex 566 - "Un soldato ritorna"All this presents Nizzi, not objectively, but through the return of Rickfield Atlanta. In the midst of it all, he composed one Nizzi Tex far more classic and able to please the most conservative readers. Tex is a very actuating either the physical level (the first part is nearly exhausted in the fight against the band of Apaches) or strategically, is a perfect example of that whole scene where Jean knows first Russard.

Repetto signs here possibly his best work in the series, much because of different scenarios where the adventure unfolds. During the first part in the struggle against persecution by the Apaches, where the Argentine author composes pages excellent action unfolding in night scenes under a rain deluge. Then, in the second part, the City entertainment scenes, but also the description of a South where the desperate landscapes of dense vegetation and that also deserve the same attention from Repetto, the same detail, demonstrate a maturity worthy of highlighting.

Its one among a good read with lots of feast to our eyes -- hope this comes in tamil soon. adios amigos...
