Dolores Dios Bermudez is a little-known Spanish actress. There’s no biographical information online or in print other than her marriage to actor Miguel Arenas, She has only two film credits “Las salvajes en Puente San Gil” in 1966 and her only Spaghetti western film “Le tre spade di Zorro” (Three Swords of Zorro) in 1963. Since her roles are uncredited it’s not possible to identify and find a photo of her.

The series was published in 1989 with issue #1 being released in July of that year and it ended with issue #10 in March of 1993. It was published by CED in Milan, Italy under the direction of Maurizio Rigo. Each issue contained anywhere from 184-240 black and white pages with color covers.
