Italian Comics! They invented Tex Willer! And Zagor! He’s like Tarzan, Old Shatterhand, the Lone Ranger and Flash Gordon rolled up into one,
living in a fantasy kingdom on the outskirts of Pennsylvania!
Oh, and they also have a Constantine type dude, a horror fighting hero called Dylan Dog, except he looks like Rupert Everett instead of Sting.
Why did I recall these comics? Because I want to write a blog entry about the recent collections of Marvel Comics’ Conan, by Roy Thomas and John Buscema; I think that Conan is a rare example of an adventure strip, of the sort the Europeans have done very successfully, but which so rarely comes out of America.
Although, we’re talking Rascaly Roy and Big John here; obviously their Conan sometimes tastes like the Avengers.

Another cult one (from the same editor, Sergio Bonelli) is ‘Mister No’. The setting is Brasil.
