by Carlos Trillo (story) and Jose Luis Salinas (art)
from Merchants of Death (Eclipse Comics) No. 1, July 1988
Here's another pen-and-ink gem from the Argentinian artist Jose Luis Salinas, taken from issue one of the 40 page, magazine-sized comic book Merchants of Death, that Eclipse Comics debuted in 1988.
Other Salinas stories from this short-lived magazine that I've posted are available here and here.
Along with meticulous draftsmanship, what's also impressive about 'The Hero' is the care and attention that Salinas brings to depicting the clothing and accoutrements of the 18th century era in which this story takes place.
