Information
pencil and ink on thin cardboard
35 x 15,5 cm
Original strip (18 B) made by Magnus for his eternal masterpiece "The Valley of Terror", published in Texone n. 9 on page 18 by Bonelli in 1996. In 1989 the Bolognese master decided to take refuge in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines in Castel del Rio to dedicate himself entirely to the creation of a monumental work: his Tex. A very long and exhausting job for the author himself, which will push Magnus to a maniacal perfectionism, leading him to redesign the same pages several times in search of a perfection impossible for anyone else to achieve. Magnus' Texone pages have never appeared on the market and until today simple preparatory studies have circulated. Magnus decided to apply a photocopy of this strip on the definitive page as the nib used had changed color in some points of the drawing while at the same time making some changes, thus giving us the possibility of being able to preserve a piece of world comics history. Slight reddish halos caused by the toning of the ink used by the author.
