More of my PINK PANTHER & ROAD RUNNER comic covers from Novaro Publishing Co.
I started working at Novaro Publishing co., (which was one of Western Publishing Company's licencees) back in 1972. My creation, EL MAFIOSO NICK (Mobster Nick) appeared under the DOMINGOS ALEGRES (Happy Sundays) banner and was one of four weekly rotating titles.
It lasted just 6 issues and was replaced by something else, but it helped me get the job of filling out additional issues of THE PINK PANTHER and BEEP BEEP, THE ROAD RUNNER, created for the Hispanic market. All in all, I wrote and did the artwork for 156 Pink Panther issues and about the same for the Road Runner until 1985, when Novaro abruptly shut down production and vanished.
.
I've posted many of these covers before on this blog and here are a few more samples of my work during those golden years of comic book history.

MOBSTER NICK: One last look.
As much as I tried, I never could sell my MOBSTER NICK comic strip to any newspaper syndicate. Finally, I gave up and retired the character for good but today here's a Mobster Nick panel just to remember him by!
