The medals of the Bonelli Heroes! With the number 271 of Julia, on newsstands from April 1st, a great celebratory initiative for the eighty years of our publishing house starts. An exclusive collection of 23 medals dedicated to the Bonelli Heroes of yesterday and today, free with our books.
On January 18, 1941, the Italian newsstands exhibited the number 331 of Audace. It is the first published by Gianluigi Bonelli alone, after the separation from his friend and partner Dante Daini, making it the epicenter of a small publishing company that his wife Tea and then, since 1957, his son Sergio have managed, raised and brought to the success, beyond the threshold of the third millennium. Although the series has continued the numbering, the differences with the previous management are many and conspicuous: in particular the first page of the newspaper becomes a real cover and in the editorials a direct relationship with readers begins to be established, which continues today. , eighty years later.
To begin celebrating the 80th anniversary of the publishing house, we have chosen to attach to all the unpublished issues of April and May a commemorative medal of the characters who have made our history!
To celebrate this important anniversary we have chosen the month of April, because it is in April 1941 that the first comic book published by Bonelli, "Il Cavaliere dell'Aria", arrives on newsstands. It is therefore through the books that we want to remember the history of our publishing house, attaching to all the unpublished issues of April and May a commemorative medal of the characters who made the history of Sergio Bonelli Editore.
Starting from number 271 of Julia, out on April 1, up to number 417 of Dylan Dog, which arrives on newsstands on May 29 (discover the complete calendar of releases, looking at the bottom of the page), you can find a gift in the main albi of the month a metal medal that reproduces the close-up of one of our heroes. Twenty-two medals dedicated not only to the owners of the series currently in publication, but also to their historical "backs". They could not miss, however, three of the most important characters of the comic adventure that for eighty years has been told by our publishing house: Ken Parker, Commander Mark and the Little Ranger!
Unfortunately we must also tell you that starting from April the cover price of our books will increase slightly. An inevitable measure due to the complex crisis situation that publishing (not only comics) is experiencing, but with the hope that our paper heroes will still be able to offer you, today as yesterday, the best opportunity for entertainment.
In addition to the medals, an elegant box will also be available that will allow you to collect and keep them all, as well as to complete the collection with the twenty-third subject, available exclusively with this release: Furio, the character that Gianluigi Bonelli chose as the protagonist of the covers of his first Audace, eighty years ago. The binder will be on sale at a price of 9.90 euros, in combination with each Bonelli register.
As the most attentive of you will have noticed, moreover, in April some of our books will be even more "collectible" than usual, presenting a cover with a particular coordinated graphic. Julia, Zagor, Dampyr, Tex, Dragonero, Martin Mystère, Nathan Never and Dylan Dog will present themselves in the center of the image, all in the same pose. Behind, a graphic background dedicated to the settings that characterize their adventures. Not only in these series but in all of them, we have also introduced some graphic improvements that we hope you will appreciate, not least the possibility of getting to the complete list of back issues via a QR Code to be scanned with your smartphone.
These are just some of the initiatives designed to celebrate Sergio Bonelli Editore's eighty years, but don't forget that this year also Zagor's sixtieth anniversary and Nathan Never's thirtieth anniversary, in a few months. Keep following us to find out what other surprises we have in store for you!
