Mestres amb majúscula
They were the precursors. And also heroes. They invented what we now know as comics and at the same time they broke the deck. Names in bold and giant type: Winsor Mccay, Richard Oucault, Otto Soglow, Elzie Crisler Segar, George Herriman, George McManus, Clarence Gray, William Ritt, Chester Gould, Alex Raymond, Lee Falk, Frank Robins, William Ritt or Harold Foster. They are unknown names or little known to most mortals. But, on the contrary, who has not heard of Little Nemo, Krazy Kat, Little King, Popeye, Flash Gordon or Prince Valiant? With their original names or with those who were baptized in the magazines and in the comics in our country. Their creations, their creatures, have overflowed them and have been fixed as icons of popular culture that broke into the United States at the beginning of the last century. Illustrators, illustrators, screenwriters, animators ... Some of them were at the same time. Maybe they were not aware. Maybe it was just his way of making a living. Maybe they would have liked to have been publicists or painters. Some ended up being it, but for the audience that learned to read and to enjoy with them, they are what they did not want: comic’s classics.
