Saloon

Saloon (1977–present, Portugal Press) is a Portuguese comic series that launched in 1977 and ran for six issues, offering a distinctive blend of Western and adventure storytelling. The series is most closely associated with its creator and writer, the influential Portuguese artist and writer José de Sousa, whose detailed, atmospheric art defined the book's gritty, cinematic feel. Though short-lived, Saloon stands as a notable early example of Portuguese genre comics, showcasing the country's vibrant underground press scene and its willingness to experiment with American-inspired tropes. Its legacy lies in its role as a cult touchstone for collectors of European alternative comics.
