Hi folks,
Does anyone have any samples of work Alberto Breccia did for Fleetway? Think he only worked for 'em for a short time in the 60s. I've only reacquainted myself with his work (Mort Cinder etc) recently and forgot how stunning it was.
Thanks.
Alberto Breccia

Hi
There are three Breccia stories in Steve Holland's High Noon collection of Cowboy Picture Library stories; copies still available from Amazon UK, and presumably elsewhere.
A great book, by the way, thoroughly recommended even if you're not a big fan of westerns.

Re: Alberto Breccia
More Breccia work for Fleetway:
On his Bear Alley blog last year, Steve Holland mentioned that Panini Books Spanish operation published Diario de Guerra by Alberto Breccia, which collected some of Breccia's work for British pocket libraries, namely one Super Detective Library and three from Thriller Picture Library.
If you're willing to pay around £25.00 for it, there's a copy on sale at www.abebooks.co.uk at the moment. There may well be copies available elsewhere, but since neither Amazon.Fr nor Amazon.co.uk have it in stock, I assume it's already out of print, even though it was published in October last year.

Not to do with Fleetway but there is a good bio. here:-

It's really his son, Enrique Breccia, whose work I'm more familiar with because I love Alvar Mayor. Spanish reprint vols. are currently available.
