Max Bunker, A pseudonym used by Luciano Secchi (born 24 August 1939) is an Italian comic book author.
Secchi was born in Milan. His career started with a western style comic book Maschera Nera (Black Mask), in 1962, and went on to enjoy success with Kriminal and Satanik in collaboration with Magnus (Roberto Raviola). Also with Magnus, the series Maxmagnus proved successful, though arguably Bunker's most famous comics series is Alan Ford (published in May 1969), for which he wrote scenarios, with Magnus responsible for the artwork in the first 75 issues.
An early Alan Ford episode - and you can see the creators working, discovering their own protagonists along the way. It does not stand out as being overly amazing, but it has a nice touching ending. One of many Alan's failed, femme-fatale romances.
Reviews wise, five down, a hundred something to go ...
Love the idea that they are a secret organization which is always broke but seem to pull it off just barely. Same as Alan gets rescued in the nick of time.
Una buona storia, dove il sarcasmo di Bunker è incisivo e dove Alan incontra per la prima volta Violet e suo padre Alstar. Non incisiva come la precedente ma nel complesso è invecchiata abbastanza male, certi riferimenti al momento storico si sono persi. 3 stelle
