Eric, it may sound strange but when I was a Young boy the most popular comic book in Italy was 'Tex Willer', a Texan ranger who married a Navajo Squaw. He was also called 'Eagle of the night' , honorary chief of the Navajo tribes and went around effectively killing bad guys with his squad, he, his son Kit, his elder Kit carson and a Navajo warrior called Tiger Jack. Most Italian boys grew up knowing about American Indians, Texas and its lore by this comics hero. I think it's still a pretty popular comic book over here. I don't remember about his diet though.
