Whether these are all by the same artist or not, my question is: "Who was Castro?" or, maybe, "Who were the two Castros?" Anyone?

Lambiek have four artists called Castro listed. J. L. Castro's style looks like a possible match, but Lambiek don't seem to know anything about him other than he was Argentinian and drew for "Bucaneros" in the 50s. Found an ebay ad for original art by an Argentinian artist called Juan Lucas Castro, who it seems to identify as the same artist as Lambiek's J. L. Castro, and adds a few more Argentinian comics he worked on.
ReplyDeleteThe other Castros on Lambiek are: Juan A Castro (Spain), Nar Castro (Philippines), and Roberto Castro (Peru), who certainly isn't your Commando artist.
