Colecção Banda Desenhada a Preto

A compact Portuguese black-and-white comic series from Livraria Bertrand, Colecção Banda Desenhada a Preto ran for five issues between 1982 and 1985, showcasing European masters of the medium. The lineup features the stark, evocative work of Carlos Giménez (who also wrote), the atmospheric adventures of Hugo Pratt, the haunting linework of Didier Comès, and stories by legendary Argentine writer Héctor Germán Oesterheld and French author Henri Gougaud.
