Zagor's series is still published after 50 years. He is one of the most famous Tarzan-inspired characters from Italy. His stories feature a variety of ideas, themes, characters and situations. Many genres are found in these stories: western, fantasy and science fiction, above all. He is thought to be a supernatural entity by Native Americans, who call him "Spirito con la Scure" (Spirit with Hatchet). Zagor lives with his friend Cico (pronounced Chico) in the imaginary forest of Darkwood, in 19th western United States, inside a hut protected by quicksand and swamps. He is the ultimate protector of the forest and of Native Americans and bears an Indian hatchet (fitted with a round stone) and a gun as weapons.
