In his essay “For a Few Comic Strips More: Reinterpreting the Spaghetti Western through the Comic Book” (in Spaghetti Westerns at the Crossroads), William Grady mainly discusses the influence of Italian Western films on Charlier and Giraud’s Blueberry. As further examples he mentions Jodorowsky and Boucq’s Bouncer, and Loveless, an American series written by Brian Azzarello. I was hoping for the inverse, an account of comic book influences on Italian Western directors.
