H Arias Victor Tanganyika Episode #1 of the series in the Italian reprint. 1979. India ink interventions, whiteout on paper, rework and montage. 28.50x38.50 cm. Chapter 1 Complete Tanganyika series. 16 plates on paper and inserts, missing lettering First publication: Skorpio Gran Color # 54, Ediciones Récord - Argentina (Jun 1979) First publication in Italy: Lanciostory # 206 - Anno V nr. 12, Eura Editoriale (Mar 1979). This is the Italian version on sketch sheets with various ink and white-out interventions, remounting, handling, and miscellaneous missing lettering in Italian. Some pages appear to be unglued. But the episode appears unabridged and retains its extraordinary charm. Definitely a vintage find of great charm and poetry. Pencil annotations in the margins are noted in places.
