Description

From Mort Cinder: La Batalla de las Termópilas. Misterix n°800, 20 mars 1964.

Breccia: "I think that every story requires a different approach. I don't believe in styles. I don't think a cartoonist needs to have a certain style or a way of doing things so that you recognize him for the particular way he draws ears or noses. It ends up becoming artificial. I think style should dwell in the concept with which we do things...I reached the stage after many years of working and searching for my own graphic identity. I spent many years looking for my own style. When I achieved it, for better or worse, it was my style. But I realized it was useless. It was simply a stamp....And that isn't drawing."

I could get lost in your collection for days. Pages like this are why. Thanks for sharing it.

Graphically amazing, powerfully dramatic, and nearly 35 years before Miller's 300... Just incredible!

A light touch, but tons of detail. Incredible panel one battle scene.

Breccia...you almost don't need to say more. Perhaps the greatest comic artist ever and Mort Cinder, his finest hour?

Mort Cinder might be his most famous and influential work but he had so many masterworks after this. As late as the 1990s, he was publishing works like "Informe sobre ciegos" (Report on the Blind) which is a pretty incredible adaptation of the story within a story by Ernesto Sabato.
