Description
From Constancio y Manolo, 1976. See comments for publication history, thanks guys! Muñoz is an Argentinian artist working in Italy on a Noir strip set in the US, which for a long time he had never actually been to visit in person. His gorgeous creative imagining of the American scene is in the tradition of Caniff, who created a persuasive fantasy of Asia without ever going there. One of the greatest disciples of Caniff is Hugo Pratt, who was the teacher of Muñoz. I don't really know what to say about this page, it's deep focus, the character work, those old women!!— but if you understand comics at all I think you have to recognize that this is a master at work.

Wonderful page - it can be found in the latest English translation from Euro Comics IDW under the title "Constancio and Manolo" - Pg 233 of that collection.

I remember reading the Alack Sinner stories between '70s and '80s, and I really liked them... They all were published in Italy on the magazines "Alterlinus" and "Alteralter", then on "Corto Maltese". This beautiful page is from the 31 page story titled "Constancio y Manolo" published on "Alterlinus" in 3 parts, on July, August and October 1976... No doubt Muñoz is a true master!

I remember reading these stories in the 1980's as well. They were translated to Danish. Most comics back then were in color, but this work seems definitely designed for black and white production. When I saw Keith Giffen's work I immediately thought of Muñoz.

I think Frank Miller must have been influenced in Sin City as well.

Don't know how I missed this fabulous Sinner page when you first posted, but it's terrific!  Every panel is a wonder.  The design and staging set the mood perfectly, the incidental elements are all interesting and each item tells a story, and of course Munoz's faces are amazing.
