Description"El Loco Sexton" - Ep.2 "Muerte de un scheriff" - pag.13 "La Ballata di Joe Barrow" 1976Media Type: Pen and Ink Artists: Arturo Del Castillo - penciller Hector Oesterheld alias Enrico Veronese - writer EL LOCO SEXTON The book title "El Loco Sexton" - Episode 2 "Muerte de un scheriff" - published also in Italy as "La Ballata di Joe Barrow" after Skorpio and Lanciostory in the 1976. This episode was drawn in pencil and inked by Arturo Del Castillo, and written by the legendary Hector German Oesterheld (creator of El Eternauta) and the saga book "El Loco Sexton" published in the 1976 was also the same year of his disappearance. The story comes with a story teller Herbert Sexton (a sort of alterego of Hector Oestereld), talking about the actions of the scoundrel Joe Barrow, a true anti-hero, that gives to us a new darker image, cruel, dusty and realistic of Western frontier, very different from the usual idea that cinema and classic comics trasmits just till that years, of a golden frontier, with idealized heroic cowboys that looked often only as knights of justice. The hugh detail of the center page, was used for the colored italian cover "La ballata di Joe Barrow". And the details of filled areas with geometric tile nets witch seems zipatone are instead all drawn in ink by Del Castillo. _____________italiano___________________________________________________________ EL LOCO SEXTON Il titolo del libro "El Loco Sexton" - Episodio 2 "Muerte de un scheriff" - pubblicato anche in Italia come "La Ballata di Joe Barrow" dopo Skorpio e Lanciostory nel 1976. Questo episodio è stato disegnato a matita e inchiostrato da Arturo Del Castillo, e scritto dal leggendario Hector German Oesterheld (creatore di El Eternauta) e del libro della saga "El Loco Sexton", pubblicato nel 1976, lo stesso anno della sua scomparsa. La storia ha come narratore Herbert Sexton (una sorta di alter ego di Hector Oestereld), che ci parla delle azioni del furfante Joe Barrow, un vero e proprio antieroe, che ci dà una nuova immagine più cupa, crudele, polverosa e realistica della frontiera western, molto diversa dalla solita idea che il cinema e i fumetti classici trasmettevano proprio fino a quegli anni, di una frontiera dorata, con cowboy eroici idealizzati che apparivano spesso solo come cavalieri della giustizia. L'enorme dettaglio della pagina centrale è stato utilizzato per la copertina italiana a colori "La ballata di Joe Barrow". E i dettagli delle aree riempite con reti geometriche di piastrelle che sembrano zipatone sono invece tutti disegnati a inchiostro da Del Castillo. in questo episodio Oesterheld si firma come autore con uno pseudonimo italiano di fantasia Enrico Veronese.

The style is definitely 70's with the high detail and the ink pooling dots. Maybe from the emergnce of ink pen tools of the time.
