Description

"Manos rojas" ("Red hands") by Carlos Albiac. Fifth chapter of the "Press" series.

Translation of last panel: "My career as a war correspondent has been long, and I have decided to tell recent or old episodes (literal translation: 'episodes near or far in time'), without a precise order, simply following the unpredictable and tormented course of memories."

The correspondent looks like Ernie Pyle, famous for his newspaper stories about the common man serving on the front line in World War II. He tragically was killed in action during the Okinawa campaign several months before the end of the war.

The seller identified the piece as being from Lanciostory, a weekly Italian comics magazine that initially published mostly work by South American, especially Argentine, writers and artists such as Alcatena, according to Wikipedia.

However, an Italian comics database (comicsbox.it) says the story actually first appeared in Ediciones Record's comic Corto Malt�s 38, August 1978, in Argentina and was subsequently run in Lanciostory.

Wow, that is an absolute stunner of a middle panel. The brush work is so organic and sublime. Amazing!

The shadows, the spray, and the overall page has a look of war photo journalism at its finest.
