br. Il western fu definito da André Bazin "il cinema americano per eccellenza". E sicuramente questo genere è stato un tipico prodotto della cultura americana, di cui ha seguito, rispecchiato e, a volte, anticipato fedelmente gli sviluppi e le trasformazioni, a partire dalla descrizione epica e grandiosa della conquista, lungo i cui mitologici sentieri progresso e barbarie si fronteggiavano incarnati dai cowboy e dagli indiani. Questo percorso evolutivo ha innervato il tessuto della nazione fino ad approdare all'universo crepuscolare e pessimista dei Peckinpah e degli Eastwood, immagine di un West in cui non esistono più eroi: metamorfosi che, osservando le contraddizioni del paese, rende il genere più vicino alla realtà storica e, allo stesso tempo, più in sintonia con un'America alla ricerca di una precisa identità. Attraverso i suoi codici linguistici, la ripetizione degli schemi visivi e l'evoluzione della messa in scena, il western ha esibito la mitologia della società di cui ha cantato le gesta, indirizzando il pubblico verso una lettura compiaciuta dei valori collettivamente condivisi, ma ha anche osservato e registrato attentamente i mutamenti in atto nella nazione, le sue paure, i suoi dubbi. "C'era una volta il western" ci racconta questo cammino: da La grande rapina al treno fino a Gli spietati, da Soldato blu a Balia coi lupi, senza dimenticare il superbo magistero di Sergio Leone.

ill., ril. Frank Frazetta (9 febbraio 1928-10 maggio 2010) è considerato da molti come il più grande disegnatore heroic fantasy di tutti i tempi. Il suo lavoro ha influenzato generazioni di artisti, fan, designer e registi. Frazetta ha ridefinito il concetto di leggenda del disegno grazie ai fumetti degli anni 50 e alle copertine mozzafiato di Tarzan, King Kong e John Carter di Marte; alle riviste di mostri degli anni 60, come Creepy, Eerie e Vampirella; ai suoi più importanti manifesti per film, tra i quali Caccia alla Volpe (After the Fox) e Ciao Pussycat (What's New Pussycat); e, naturalmente, ai suoi rivoluzionari dipinti di Conan. Questo volume raccoglie tutte le sedici avventure di White Indian realizzate dal maestro americano.
