Tex - The Lonesome Rider - Joe Kubert





Joseph "Joe" Kubert was an American comic book artist, art teacher and founder of The Kubert School. 


He is best known for his work on the DC Comics characters Sgt. Rock and Hawkman.


We got to know about this fantastic artist when he partnered with Claudio Nizzi to provide us a wonderful book 


Tex The Lonesome Rider





As against the adventures of Tex and Pards - Tex, Carson, Kit and Tiger here Claudio Nizzi had written a fast paced storyline where our Tex travels alone on a coarse route to bring back justice.





Joe Kubert had given Tex a different look which reflects clearly Tex as opposed to the old Tex versions.

This book Tex - The Lonesome Rider is published in English in America by SAF comics 


Which is available -- http://www.kubertartstore.com/kubert-exclusives/kubert-tex-the-lonesome-rider/


Later by Dark Horse as a hardbound version -- https://www.darkhorse.com/Books/24-773/Tex-The-Lonesome-Rider-HC


They are also giving the digital version of the book through Kindle edition.


I just got the new hardbound version of the book which look very premium and good.








Reading through this masterpiece is a super fast Ranger ride, which keeps your pulse high.

Few pages from that new book:






The book is an awesome read for all texians around the world.

Tex in Huge Form - Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri luxurious collection "ANNUAL Tex"



The year 2014 is about to end and has brought us many new features of Publisher Bonelli: from new players in the Italian kiosks - Lukas and Adam Wilde - the numerous color publications, the "rebirth" of Dylan Dog the premiere of issues with covers alternatives to the television debut of Orfani series. But there is a star who continues to shine more than all, and not to mention much to discover who he is: He is none other than our timeless Tex! The hero of  Bonelli and Galleppini continues his endless cavalcade on the prairies of kiosks, without rest on their "laurels" and to ensnare more and more readers around the globe with curiosity, exploring, from time to time, unprecedented horizons and new publishing formats.




Out of this consciousness is born a work long awaited: the first in a series of volumes that we call Tex d'autore ( author of Tex ) , which will premiere on February 17 . The honor of the baptism of this new full experience of the colors, carton and large-format (22.5 x 30.5 cm) is a big name in the comic world panorama band: Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri !



Many passionate comic recall the trace Venetian artist for giving way to stunning Druuna, but Eleuteri Serpieri in the course of his long career, has been able to show in a masterly way and on several occasions, the panoramas and the atmospheres, the faces and customs of the Old West through many downloaded stories of fascination.




Not coincidentally, his name is often claimed numerous times by the readers who write to Sergio Bonelli Editore or the public attending the various exhibitions in the Italian publisher participates a little all over Italy with the presence of texianos authors. Woven adventure by Eleuteri Serpieri in full copyright garments, shall not cease to amaze with its rich and dynamic pages, offering an unprecedented look for Tex, showing the hero in the guise of a reckless youth.

A truly special publication that one can not miss in his collection and any fan of Tex and whose cover today we get to know from the Portuguese Blog for Tex!
