PINK PANTHER Olympic Trading Cards

            

Two cards published in 1990 by Editorial VID with an Olympic theme. These two were the ones I did. 

The rest of the collection featured all the other characters from Vid's comic book titles.

The Genius of Peter Sellers!

Admittedly a very controversial and enigmatic person in private, Peter Sellers was nevertheless, a master of comedy and a fine, versatile actor. His multiple roles in a wide variety of films reveal him to be a prolific and highly talented performer.

THE PINK PANTHER (1964) and its sequels, type-cast Sellers as the bumbling inspector Clouseau; however, his skills reached even further as witnessed by his next to last performance in 1980's BEING THERE.

Gone much too soon and missed by legions of adoring fans, Sellers rightfully earned his place among the pantheon of great film comedians.

Among his many film credits, are THE MOUSE THAT ROARED, THE LADYKILLERS, LOLITA, DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB,

THE PARTY, AFTER THE FOX, THERE'S A GIRL IN MY SOUP, WHAT'S NEW, PUSSYCAT?, CASINO ROYALE, MURDER BY DEATH and of course, the five PINK PANTHER movies.

THE LAST OF MY PINK PANTHER COMIC BOOK COVERS (Unpublished).

This was the last PINK PANTHER comic book cover I ever did for Editorial VID, which never saw the light of day.  Late in 1992, I was informed that the comic book branch was closing up shop and all artists and writers were being let go. However, VID  kept publishing and reprinting the same stories for several years more, without paying any royalties.

This is the original pen and ink artwork. I always signed my drawings even when I knew they would be white-washed out by the editors.

The cover was a reworking of my original NOVARO cover for DOMINGOS ALEGRES No. 2-1202, published in September 30, 1977. I substituted the Inspector for the generic little guy.

THE PINK PANTHER speaks Norwegian!

THE PINK PANTHER speaks Norwegian in these stories I did in Spanish years ago for Novaro.

Thanks to Jan Roar Hansen from the GCD, Grand Comics Database for sending me these scans!

Four of my PINK PANTHER covers in Sweden!

And here we have four of my covers for the PINK PANTHER comic books published in Sweden between 1983 and 1985. The Grand Comics Database has all the information but there is no way of knowing if the inside stories and artwork were mine.  Bummer!

Some of my PINK PANTHER covers published in Norway back in the 80s and 90s!

Thanks to Peter Croome from the Grand Comics Database™ (GCD) for sharing this information with me. I was not aware my work had also been published in Norway!!!
