Description

Jose Luis Salinas, Cisco Kid, 3-11-1959. China su cartoncino, cm 17x57.

Jose Luis Salinas was born in Buenos Aires on the 11th of February 1908.
Great illustrator, sharpens his technique and style by working for nine years at the advertising agency �Exitus�, aside from a short period at �El Tony� and �Paginas de Columba�. His talent is obvious from his first comic already, �Hern�n el corsario�, published on �Patoruz�� magazine in 1936.
Feeling the influence of the great American authors, especially Hal Foster but also Alex Raymond, he works at a basis that favors quality rather than quantity.
During these years he creates various reductions of the great classics, he underlines the importance of the drawing by doing it first before the text. In 1937mappears on �El Hogar� �El Capit�n Tormenta� that it will be followed by �Miguel Strogoff�, �Los tres mosqueteros�, �El ultimo de Los Mohicanos�, �La Pimpinela Escarlata�, �Las minas del Rey Salom�n�, �El Libro de la selva� and others. In the middle of the 1940s he draws some episodes of �Ellos�, a humor series created by Rodolfo Claro under the pseudonym �Joseph Luis�.
In 1949 he goes to the United States and makes a deal with the �King Features Syndicate� to realize a very ambitious project: �Cisco Kid�, a very particular western character, brave and a perfect gentleman, created in the 1920s by the American writer Henry but that became popular because of a dozen of movies realized by Fox between 1929 and 1949. The character sees the light the following year after the author moves to the U.S.A. with his family.
The series ends in 1968 and Salinas concentrates for a while on painting and on producing illustrations for the English �Tell Me Why� series. But in 1971, thanks to the intermediation of King Features, he creates the character �Dick el artillero� a sporty hero, on Alfredo Grassi�s texts, that gets published on various journals all over the world. Later, the story will be worked on by Lucho Olivera.
This great artist died in Buenos Aires on the 10th of January in 1985.
