In the good old days when we still thought that Robin Wood to write all his comics (but already leaked through some indiscretion nippurweb.com.ar) I wrote a long piece on which Wood concluded with a list of his series arrived in Italy. "And we hope not too many stupid things you have written" I said to introduce it on Mute Fucine 51. Here, in fact, I take this opportunity to update the blog and correct some things ...
And of course to expand the list with the new series of the weekly Wood appeared after 2002.
Dax ( Lanciostory 4 / 83)
Daniel Alexander is the son of Dr. Xavier, holding not far from Beijing . This is the beginning of the twentieth century, and China is about to explode under the pressure of the boxer. These are just bloodthirsty rebels to exterminate Xavier, which will be saved only by chance the small Daniel. Dax renamed by the new peasant family that adopted him (D, A and X were the letters of his initials) grows as an East and is involved in fantastic adventures of mold around China. It is a martial arts expert (as expected) but also has mental powers that are, however, always left vague. These powers, his strange red eyes who is wearing el'amuleto urged him to seek clarification of its true origins in the Shaolin monks. After a series of episodic adventures, initially united by common subplots and red wires, Dax is dedicated to finding these elusive monks and when it finally reaches the goal we are witnessing one of the worst scams of Wood: questioned about Monaco expresses a more or less like this: "Well, Dax, what you want in this world there are mysteries that remain in place. Hello. Fortunately, with the next stage entrance of his cousin Marcel (eager to eliminate Dax to become sole heir of Xavier) and the arrival of new design series will recover very well and will be maintained at satisfactory levels to the end. Historical elements and treated more adventurous will gradually replace the fantastic.
Dax was posted directly on insert Lanciostory in three lines: 4 to 23, 1983, from 44/83 to 16/84 and from 17 to 41, 1984. At the time magazine inserts appeared as unpublished comics and only tribute Skorpio restated the classics. The adaptation from the original format was terrible with the excuse that the inserts still constituted a single homogeneous block some episodes were cut badly and were merged on the same page tables belonging to different episodes! The drawings were attributed entirely to Marchionne but they are very obvious collaborations of other designers. In particular, we point out the splendid evidence of Enrique Breccia in great shape. Dax was a hit even today is remembered by fans. Certainly compared to a Gilgamesh or Dago does not look great. Giants adventure have repeated the numbers 12, 15, 19 and 24 and the series had also made two appearances on Euracomix (n ° 21 and 28: it was concluded arcs). The open ending suggests that perhaps Argentina Dax has been pursued. [Of course I had a following, and came up to the early '90s, when Robin Wood has finally abandoned the series in 1984 Amezaga / Morini has continued to write and then the rudder moved in permanently with a Ferrari drawings Szilagy of ]
