Little Known Spaghetti Western actors ~ Dolores Bermudez
[These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]
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.

European Western Comic Books – Capitan Miki 6
Captain Miki 6
This comic book series came out as a supplement to Tuttomiki. The first issue is not numbered. It presents publications "outside the series", as they are not works by the famous Essegesse, but by other authors. Practically, they are stories created by Amilcare Medici (texts), Franco Bignotti (#1/9) and by Studio Del Principe [Eugenio Benni, Nestore Del Boccio and Gianni Corsi] (drawings), already published in Italy, some of which you can find (even with different titles) in the Freccia Gigante Collection.
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.
