In the beginning of the 1960s, Blasco started an international career with the British publishing agency Fleetway, for which he produced 'Steel Claw', 'Billy the Kid', 'Buffalo Bill', 'The Indestructible Man' and many other titles. In 1968 he started 'Los Guerilleros, from scripts by Cusso, in Spirou magazine, where he also worked on 'Paul Foran' (text by Gil).
