Doruk said...: Esteban Maroto is one of my favorite draftsmen, especially among those who worked in the comics medium. I used to admire his art in the turkish translations of the Warren mags as a teen, without ever knowing who he was ( I don't remember if those translations listed the artists at all), until last year or so when I finally came across one of my favorite stories from those mags online and thus learned who he was.

I do find it rather difficult to find much of his art anywhere, though. Do you happen to have any more?; August 18, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Thomas Haller Buchanan said...: The Warren magazines were so lucky to have Maroto's work. He helped to elevate them. I have some individual panels that I saved in my morgue. I will post some of those in the next few days, although some of it may well be from one your favorite stories.; August 18, 2009 at 11:15 PM
