(ANSA) – MILAN, NOV 24 – Eighty uninterrupted years of stories, adventures, creativity, dreams: Milan celebrates, until next January 30, the publishing house that has made a real epic of comics, Sergio Bonelli Editore, from whose authors great comics were born such as Tex, Zagor, Dylan Dog, Martyn Mystère, Dampyr and many other paper heroes. A chronological path, from the beginning to the next products, with the entry into animation, is exhibited in the exhibition hosted by the Fabbrica del Vapore, with the partnership of the Municipality of Milan and Comicon.
“Since its origins, the name Bonelli has been synonymous with adventure – reads the exhibition – Three generations of publishers have transformed comics from craftsmanship to Fabbrica dei Sogni. The progenitor Gianluigi Bonelli, the heir Sergio with his mother Tea and, today, his nephew Davide, together with hundreds of collaborators, have brought over two hundred newspapers to newsstands, to the comic store and to the bookstore “.
An “extraordinary production” at the base of which there could only be an extraordinary life: that of the founder, Gianluigi Bonelli, so similar, temperamentally, to his ‘Tex Willler’ that he almost completely identifies with it, as Gianni Bono recalls in ‘Tex sono io’, the narrated biography of the legendary founder of the company: “It didn’t happen often and it didn’t happen with everyone but, at times, Gianluigi Bonelli talked about himself. Of how Tex, his favorite literary son, ended up looking like him. Or vice versa”. Proof of this are that Audace, the first character of the Bonelli House, released in January 194, a boxer with a big heart, coincidentally like the founder, a passionate boxer, with a youth steeped in raids and a thousand professions. His first works were based on the great stories of Dumas, London, Salgari, and for his most famous creature, Bonelli had American western cinema as a reference model but without ever falling into that distorting demonization of natives typical of Hollywood propaganda.
