Cisco Kid
The Mexican vigilante, inspired by O'Henry's story "The
Caballero's Way," is the protagonist of films (1929's "The Old
Arizona," with Warner Baxter) and a TV series. The first comic book
version was by John Giunta, who drew three comic books for the American
publisher Bailey (1944). This was followed by the Italian Armando Monasterolo,
who published in L’Albo della domenica (Taurinia, 1946) and Viaggi e avventure (Taurinia,
1948). From 1950 to 1958, Dell Comics created a series of 41 comic books
written by Rod Reed and drawn by Robert Jenney and Alberto Giolitti. On January
15, 1951, the syndicated version of King Features Syndicate appeared with the
daily comic strip written by Rod Reed and drawn by José Luis Salinas, which
ended on August 10, 1968. This version appeared in Albo Traguardo
(Adriana, 1953), Albo Furore (Aurelia, 1953), Celebri eroi
dell’avventura and Assi dell’udacia (Gioggi, 1955), Avventure
Americane (Avventure Americane, 1956), Il vascello (La Freccia,
1958) and Il mago (Mondadori, 1972). Since 1982, the Voltolina Brothers’
Club Nostalgia has published the complete edition in the Collana argento
issues.
