Bonelli Store opens in Milan dedicated to Tex, Dylan Dog and more
On January 15, 2021, the Bonelli Store opened in Milan at viale Coni Zugna, replacing the former Bonelli Point which closed in December 2020. The new 160-square-meter space features eight bright windows and areas dedicated to Bonelli newsstand releases, back issues, library editions, and for the first time, Panini Comics publications. The store includes a space for meetings and presentations, pending the easing of Covid-19 restrictions. The opening is a strategic move to meet audience needs and counter the bookstore crisis. A highlight is the new book by Gianni Bono, "G.L. Bonelli. Tex sono io!" (Sergio Bonelli, 2021), a 368-page volume in dialogue form collecting news and curiosities about Gianluigi Bonelli, creator of Tex (first drawn by Aurelio Galleppini in 1948) and other heroes, featuring comic pages and rich iconography.
