"I promised that you will have more information about the book I am writing. So, here it is.
I?m going to tell you what each chapter contains:
1. Me and Tex Willer
Here I tell about me and my road with Tex Willer magazine. I also tell what the rest of the book contains.
2. Tex Willer as a comic book within comic books
I am going to tell what separates Tex Willer from other similar books. I also represent the characters of Tex Willer magazine. Also the most well known enemies will be represented. I tell also the fantastic aspects of Tex Willer.
 3. The history of the Tex Willer magazine
In this chapter I tell about the creators of Tex magazine. Also magazine?s history both in Italy and Finland will be revealed.
4. Mythical Tex Willer is not common Italian man
What are Tex Willer?s features that makes him a mythical person. He is (almost) always right, he never gets serious wounds, he always shoots the villain at the end of the story, etc. I also tell how different Tex is from an average Italian man. I have read that Italian men are very pleased if someone calls them as ?dolce?. But I don?t think that anybody can call Tex Willer as ?dolce?. In this chapter I use very much humour.
5. Women
I tell what kind of women are there in Tex Willer magazine? There are bad women (like saloon women), evil women (like Satania) and good women who are not available. I also tell why doesn?t Tex ever re-marry. In this chapter I use very much humour too.
6. Tex and the catholic church
You can?t write about Italy without telling something about the church. I tell in this chapter that the book is full of catholic references. I also tell other religions in Tex magazines. And there is also some words of white and black magic.
7. Is there any Political message
There are no clear political message in Tex magazine. Any person with political attitude can find from magazine political message that pleases him. I also tell the opinions of other writers of this subject. There is also my observation that it is very common that Tex uses methods that might please people from right side of the political field to help poor people while doing that he pleases also people from left side of the political field. This is very clear in the story called Cheyenne Club.
8. Criminals in Tex magazine
Here I?ll tell what kind of criminals Tex is against. And what means he uses against criminals. There is also my theory that G.L. Bonelli created an effective team around Tex Willer, so that he can fight allegorycally against mafia and other criminals.
9. Against racism
Tex is against racism. I am going to tell about humanitarian attitude of Tex Willer. But there are also other side. Some writer, like Paola de Martino and finish Esa Liippala have found some racistic aspect of Tex boo. My opinion is that each issue is child of its time and some thing that might look racistic now, but actually wasn?t at the day when the story was originally released.
10. Finland
This is actually a conclusion. I also tell what similar features there are in Italy and
Finland".
