In Zibbhebu 's collection
Comment
Planche de 29 X 21 cm. Textes en allemand collés. On admirera au passage le bel anachronisme qui fait se promener un magnifique tatou, animal sud-américain, dans une jungle africaine, ce qui ne retire rien à l'incroyable minutie avec laquelle chaque case est dessinée et encrée. L'histoire parue dans la revue Tim et Tom éditée par Artima/Aredit à la fin des années 1950 aurait peut-être initialement été publiée en Espagne dans la revue La vuelta al mundo de dos muchachos dans les années 1950.

About Boixcar
Guillermo Sánchez Boix, who signed his most popular work with Boixcar, is considered one of the grandmasters of Spanish comics. He started his career in the mid-1940s and among his first comics are 'El Caballero Negro', 'El Puma' and 'La Vuelta al Mundo de dos Muchachos'. He became very popular through the 'Hazañas Bélicas' series, that was launched in 1948.
The comic dealt with the recent events of World War II, emphasizing on the human values that arise due to the desperate situations that are caused by armed conflicts. The success of the series led to the launch of a second title, Hazañas Bélicas Extra. Boixcar also cooperated on collections like Mundo Futuro, Flecha Negra and Murciélago. Much of his work was reprinted in French pocket books.
