Tex is a classic Italian Western comic series created by writer Gianluigi Bonelli and artist Aurelio Galleppini, also known as Galep. First introduced in Italy in 1948, the character quickly became one of the most popular and longest-running Western comic heroes in Europe. The series combines action, adventure, and frontier justice within the setting of the American Old West.

The comic takes its name from its main character Tex Willer, a fearless Texas Ranger known for his strong sense of justice and uncompromising personality. Tex operates across the American frontier fighting criminals, bandits, corrupt officials, and other threats. In addition to being a ranger, Tex is also the chief of the Navajo Nation in the stories, where he is known among the Native Americans as “Night Eagle.” As a character, Tex is portrayed as someone who strongly opposes discrimination and prejudice, and while he respects justice, he is not afraid to bend rules or resort to force when necessary to defend the innocent.

This issue contains the story titled “Kırmızı El,” adapted from the original Italian story “La Mano Rossa.” The story is one of the early adventures of Tex Willer and introduces readers to the dangerous frontier conflicts and outlaw organizations that frequently appear throughout the series.

For collectors, the Tex Altın Seri publication by Oğlak Yayınları represents one of the most comprehensive modern Turkish editions of the Tex comics. Its long run of 168 issues and consistent monthly release schedule made it a cornerstone publication for Turkish Tex readers and collectors during the mid-2000s.
