Art: Jesús Blasco

Written by: Miquel Cussó, J.R. Larraz, Jesús Blasco

Les Guerrilleros was one of the successes of Spirou magazine in the 60s, featuring rich and creative art that stemms from its enormous variety of approaches. It was definitely a turning point in Blasco's career which helped him make his name in Europe, where he had success in multiple disparate markets such as the British and Franco-Belgian ones.

  Blasco, an expert with brush, pen and watercolour techniques, put his considerable talent on display, while continuing to expand his creative boundaries, in this classic western piece which still impresses readers to this day.
