The various states of decay prevent me from making quality scans. Each copy is also cut badly, so the shabby, slanted borders are not due to the scans.
I hope to follow up with interior scans (or maybe photos).

Salvador Bartolozzi (1882 - 1950) was one of the most important Spanish comic artists from the 1920s. With his several famous characters, such as the 'Pipo y Pipa' and his free adaptation of Collodi's 'Pinocho y Chapete', Bartolozzi counts as an innovator of the Spanish comic strip. Bartolozzi went to Paris, where he stayed for six years. After his return, he joined the publishing house Calleja. Bartolozzi collaborated with several juvenile magazines, such as Pinocho, Macaco and Chiquilín. [source]Somehow I wound up with seven issues of the 1920s Spanish series "Pinocho Contra Chapete." (Chapete is the yellow egg guy.) Each one is 16 pages plus printed covers (all in color).

These are really beautiful, thans for posting. I'm new to your blog - found it through Arthur mag, will keep looking regularly!
By coincidence I am looking at a 2008 volume of Pinocchio from the local library illustrated by Robert Ingpen. Beautiful! And I have previously purchased another one, art by Attilio Mussino, because the art is so gorgeous.
Thanks so much for sharing these. I love the Pinocchio story.
Andrea, I'm a big fan of Collodi's book too (which I think I read in a a religion course on the Golem?).
William, really glad you left a comment. I need to pick up Tales from Greenfuzz immediately. Also enjoying your portfolio here.
Thanks for the kind words Will, let me know if you can't get hold of Greenfuzz where you are...
