Following up on my post of seven covers from the 1920s Spanish series "Pinocho Contra Chapete." Quoting from that post:
From lambiek.net: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 ChiquilÃn. [source]The various states of decay prevent me from making quality scans. (Though some of these turned out looking good.)

What a weird Pinocchio! Great illustrations
These just get better and better....
Inspiring... thanks
FABULOUS!
these are really amazing!!!!!!
I am beginning to really love your blog!
I am glad that you posted some covers and pages of amazing Bartolozzi's Pinocho. This is not really Collodi's Pinochio, but a very Spanish, very special adventures stories with the long-nosed puppet. More than 40 overall, long out of print. I happen to have the entire set that belonged to my grandfather. Beautiful, marvellous and weird, for today's tastes.
Thank you Jorge. I would love to share some images from your grandfather's collection (if you have access to a scanner or camera). Please get in touch if so.
