Description

This is an episode from the series ‘Armas de fuego’, It was published in Spanish, I believe in the 1960s, in the magazine Patoruzito. Subsequently published in Italy under the title ‘Armi da fuoco’ in 1988 in the magazine Skorpio (Eura editore), in issues 24, 26, 28 and 30. In Italian, the episode is titled ‘Il Circo tragico’. It is interesting to note that the back features the Spanish title ‘El Circo tragico’ and the front the Italian title ‘Il Circo tragico’.
