Q&A with John Voytek

Which piece in your gallery is your favorite and why?

I would have to say my two Terry and the Pirates strips from 1939 and 1946. Both feature the Dragon Lady and nicely bookend each other with a young Terry in '39 and a mature Terry in '46, now a member of the armed forces. The Dragon Lady was Caniff's greatest creation and always a big part of Terry's life, crossing each other's paths through the years.

Please tell us a little about yourself.

Cisco Kid daily - 05/09/1952

Belle, Lucy and Red Flower, the trifecta!...from the sixth Cisco storyline "Cisco's Bad Wound". Cisco takes a bullet to the shoulder and deals with being called on by three of his romantic interests from earlier stories...ALL at once. The gathering of these three beautiful ladies created one of the more memorable stories in the entire series. As this particular daily has appeared in numerous articles about Salinas, every time I saw it...I wanted it more. The dealer/collector had it listed as "Trade" art, so I made an offer with a piece of art that I thought that he might be receptive to...And it all worked out for everyone involved. As I have always considered Salinas on par with the greats - Foster, Raymond and Frazetta, I wanted to own what I would consider a top-tier example. This strip far surpasses all of those needs. The body language of the characters in these three panels is amazing and really captures the essence of Salinas' magical run.
