Salasso

Emerging from the Silver Age pages of Vilda västern, Salasso made their debut in 1962 under the pen of the Italian creative trio EsseGesse, published by Centerförlaget in what was clearly a lively corner of European Western comics. With just six catalogued appearances across a run stretching into the late 1960s, this is a rare and intriguing figure — the kind of character that dedicated collectors of continental adventure comics love to track down. Sharing those sun-baked, action-packed pages with the likes of Kapten Miki, Windy, Napoleon, and Överste Brown, Salasso keeps genuinely colourful company, making each appearance a worthwhile find for anyone exploring the rich, often overlooked world of Scandinavian-market Western storytelling.
