Description
Dick El Artillero by José Luis Salinas Published by KFS in several countrys. I have a total of 5 comic strips all signed by José Luis Salinas.
"The saga, curiously, is not set in Argentina, but in some unspecified location in the Americas.
In its early days, in the 1970s, it was published in the United States and reprinted in France, the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Colombia, Israel, and even the Fiji Islands."
"In South Africa, the comic strip didn't last long. It was quickly censored by apartheid, due to the prominence of Polidoro, a talented black teammate. "Writer, journalist, and comic book writer Juan Sasturain, also host of the program Continuará, notes that Dick wasn't Salinas's best work, but "it has the guaranteed quality of a master." "Dick the Gunner is a rare bird in the history of Argentine comics, which curiously devoted very few panels to soccer, despite the passion for the sport that characterizes the country. The strip's origin is also surprising: it was commissioned by King Features Syndicate, where Grassi and Salinas worked."
"These types of American agencies asked cartoonists for works that could be marketed to numerous countries around the world. Such a diverse readership forced the scriptwriter to write the plots in neutral Spanish.
