MAIN STORY
The series premiered in 1966. Terminated in 1986 after 242 issues.

The series takes place in the USA near the Mexican border in the second half of the 19th century. It evolves around a strong and redhaired marksman, Alan Mistero called Ombrax, who seems to be on an unending undercover mission against all sorts of bandits. He excels in magnificent disguises which constantly fool both bandits and friends.
To help him - or get in the way as the case may be - Ombrax has two sidekicks, a gambler type called Conte and the eternally hungry Polpetta.
