Tex is one of Italy’s most enduring and beloved comic book series, debuting in the late 1940s. Tex n. 5, titled "Satania!", is an early edition from 1950, presented in spillato (saddle-stitched) format and marked as Aut. 478, indicating its authorization number in Italian comic regulation. Notably, this issue is listed as non-censored with dated headers (testatine datate), which refers to the comic’s original publication details prominently displayed, a feature prized by collectors for authenticity. Tex comics follow the adventures of Tex Willer, a tough Texas Ranger character, blending Western action, adventure, and morality tales set in the American frontier. The series is celebrated for its compelling storytelling, detailed artwork, and its role in establishing the Western comic genre in Italy and beyond. Owning an early uncensored issue like this connects collectors to the roots of European Western comics.
