Description

Hernan El Corsario, December 1936. The premiere episode of Jose Luis Salinas' masterpiece strip. Salinas was already a master of his craft at this early stage of the art form. It's tempting to imagine what he could have done with a full Sunday page had he been in the US and backed by a newspaper syndicate. His work was detailed yet without the stiffness of Foster's Prince Valiant. It expressed movement more realistically than Raymond's Flash Gordon. Given the opportunity, he could have been a heavyweight in the American papers of the golden age.

I'm very happy to have this historic strip in my care.

Historic strip here!. Salinas was as good as the greatest of his time like Raymond or Foster and Hernán, being one of his first works, is undoubtly a master work in his career.
