Outrageous fun with the different factions of gangs in Megacity One.  Weston makes each of them look tough and as scary as real gangs.

 

Ugh, they give off such a bad vibe!

Those vultures are nasty scavengers and a constant reminder of the spectre of death hanging / flying over these western stories from the harsh environments and the dangers of bandits! 

 

What wonderful adventures, what excitement! You can feel the heat, the thirst, the fear... and despite everything, what elegance the protagonist has! What poise!

Popeye, Olive, and Sweet Pea were cultural icons that people around the world recognized and endured for generations through most of the 20th century.  The spinach eating sailor punching his way out of problems still speaks to the 70's and 80's afterschool syndicated cartoon watching audience.

Popeye the Sailor Man gained superhuman strength by eating spinach. The character's popularity sparked a significant increase in its consumption in the United States in the 1930s. Popular belief attributed spinach with ten times the actual amount of iron, at a time of heightened awareness about anemia. In any case, although iron is not the main benefit of spinach, it is a nutritious food, very rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as folic acid and fiber.

I like the Bill Gaines picture hanging from the wall.

Yes! William Maxwell "BillGaines (1922 – 1992) was an American publisher and co-editor of EC Comics. Following a shift in EC's direction in 1950, Gaines presided over what became an artistically influential and historically important line of mature-audience comics. He published the satirical magazine Mad for over 40 years.

Are they trying to drill a hole through the Earth through the ocean?  That last page is a very fine montage splash of storytelling.  

Este es un fenómeno hasta ahora desconocido en geología.

La fuerte corriente marina que nos arrastró hacia el fondo, debe cruzar gran parte del globo por una de esas casualidades que se dan una vez cada millón, fuimos a parar debajo del campo petrolífero, donde el grosor es más delgado, lo que nos permitió salir a la superficie con la ayuda de la succión del aire que arrastra el petróleo.

This is a phenomenon previously unknown in geology.

The strong ocean current that dragged us to the bottom must have crossed much of the globe by one of those once-in-a-million coincidences.

We ended up beneath the oil field, where the oil slick is thinner, allowing us to surface with the help of the air suction that carries the oil.

The parodies of where the saga began are always welcome as they add to the lore to refresh us on what made Star Wars such a generational phenomenon.

 

JMV is also very funny. He's done parodies of other series like The Lord of the Rings. He's also an excellent caricaturist!

Very captivating stare to beckon the audience!  This has all the elements of a period drama look of the 70's paperback cover and done with the Spanish illustrative flair of Enric.

Spanish illustrators were in demand by publishers all over the world at that time thanks to the commercial work of Josep Toutain and his agency "Selecciones Ilustradas" - the golden age of Spanish comics!

The grid like construction for the backgrounds are always a joy to see from a professionally trained artist like Doménech who does the job right from the start.

He is an illustrator and comic book cartoonist. He loved comics since he has memory. The truth is that in comics he had a lucky childhood. He loves Little Nemo, Buscema’s Conan the Barbarian, Alex Raynont’s Flash Gordon, Hal Foster’s Valiant Prince, Fantastic Four, and Captain America’s Great of the Big One Jack (the King) Kirby. And also the Asterix, Tintin, Mortadelo, Superlopez … and a thousand more.

The painted skies in pastels give off great scale to show the conflict goes beyond ground level. 

In World War I, trenches were a key element. They were systems of ditches and shelters dug into the ground to protect soldiers from enemy fire, and were characterized by being long, narrow, and often covered with barbed wire... Machine guns transformed wars of maneuver into wars of position. Examples of heavy machine guns were the German MG 08, the French Hotchkiss M1914, and the British Vickers. Among the light machine guns were the British Lewis and the French Chauchat.

Great frontier mining town shown!  The sparseness of the setting makes us focus more upon the few elements that are there.  Those horses have their own personalities!

Unfortunately, Aldomá Puig decided not to pursue his comic book career after receiving negative advice about his style (he was persuaded to focus on humor rather than realism). He eventually dedicated himself to sculpture and became highly recognized in this field in Spain, with large works exhibited in streets and squares.

Doe in the great  Franco-Belgian cartooning tradition of Spirou.  At first glance I could have mistaken Rantanplan for Marsupilami with their big nose design.

I totally agree. I love Rantanplan ("Rin Tin Can" in English and "Bushwack" in the 1983 Hanna-Barbera animated television series Lucky Luke). In fact Rantanplan is a bloodhound dog, a parody of Rin Tin Tin

Great transformation page!  The middle tier is great body horror!

The dissolution of the PIDE (successor of the State Surveillance and Defense Police PVDE of Portugal) after the Carnation Revolution, many of its agents went into exile in Spain.

Some of the defense dogs were abandoned on the Spanish border.

Wolf attacks on livestock in Extremadura and Zamora made journalists wonder if they were wolves or the PIDE dogs.

Hence the political and satirical context of the comic.

Manuel Bayo Marín (Teruel, 1908 - Zaragoza, 1953) was one of the most famous illustrators of his time, a contemporary of other Aragonese such as Gazo, Teixi, Del Arco, Yus, Cardona, Rael, Mata, Marcial Buj Luna "Chas", etc.

He made illustrations for advertising, graphic design, caricature, illustration of novels and stories, covers of publications such as Crónica, Cinegramas, Mundo Gráfico, Aragón: graphic magazine of Aragonese culture, La Voz de Aragón, etc.

In 1930 he obtained a second prize of 300 pesetas for a poster depicting a couple dancing the jota. He held an exhibition in Teruel at the Casino Turolense in August 1931. He illustrated the poster for the Pilar festivities in Zaragoza (1944 and 1945)
