The Collector Jose Acevedo
I have the pleasure of meeting Jose Acevedo, and to discover its great collection of comics and graphic novels. It all started by visiting a site where there is an article from the novellas of the silver-masked Santo, and I read the comments on the article was there and I saw his comment that he was interested in doing trade comics and graphic novels. Encourage me to write to know if he sold me some graphic novels, but it told me that nomas exchanges. He tells me that is the collector who has more graphic novels in The Ghost in Puerto Rico the island of enchantment.
I was surprised when he told me how many great graphic novels have in your collection. In a few days ago I opened a Facebook account to show some covers: Jose Acevedo
. Indeed, and there was my friend and colleague Bruno, who learned very quickly (Bruno, tell me how you did it to find out so soon).
Well, I asked some questions to Jose Acevedo, who thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions and to publish in the blog.
At what age began to collect these novellas? I started collecting comics at 10 years of age and beyond in 1964.
That was what the grounds of the fotonovelas collect the silver-masked Santo? I was interested in comics because he saw the saint with photos. But over time I realized were photomontage. In short I gave a picture of the saint's head and the body was drawn. A woman in a bathing suit he drew a pearl necklace for not noticing that the body was drawn. What most interested me was that I saw wrestling, and the saint was a fighter.
another character / fotonovela liked him apart from the Holy? All comic that by Jose G. Cruz. I have told these comics: 620 of the original Santo (JGC) 355 of the other saints, 248 of the brave, first and second (JGC), 549 of John the Fearless the strong and the weak (JGC), 57 of the Tigress (JGC .) But I have a lot of Apollo (JGC).
could ever see / meet El Santo in person? In the decade of the 70 holy wine to make a movie in Puerto Rico and became a fight near where I live and I went to see him in person. In my 57 years still is my IDOLO.amen
What was your reaction when Replaces the wrestler, El Santo by a bodybuilder, Hector Pliego? When the saint changed what I wanted was not to buy, but I did and worse when they threw their collections. At that time I lived in the State of Illin, USA which spent many years. Always bought the comic there. Imagine seeing a comic book of the saint in the decade of the cars were 80 and 50. On April 8, 1980 was the last big holy comics (8 by 10). The next week began the (5 by 7) and last I have of these is the # 1054 that in turn is equivalent to # 191, the decade of the 50. The title of this comic 1054 is Dillinger's son.
you know how many came in total fotonovelas The Ghost with the publisher Ediciones Jose G. Cruz? comics
The total volume of the saint in # 1 were 698. January 1, 1974 was the last comic. Volume # 2 (September 3, 1952 to the first week of August 1969) about 1210 comics out small but can be more. I remember that these were thrown up to 3 times per week.
you know how many were in total collections of the Holy? of collections is not much and I have only about 8 of them and the numbers 280.
fotonovelas you know how many came in total to the Publisher The Holy ICAVI / Vord? From the editor ICAVI were about 230 comics. To edit. Vord not know anything but I have a comics # 206. In the comics of the saint will tell you that in fact the editor of five comics I interesan.Tampoco the saint who was editor VORD in small size. The last comics were the saint's small (5 by 7) inches. Stop buying them that made them so.
What was the number / episode you like most in the novellas of the Holy? The My favorite comic was # 275 in which the saint is kissing a woman (photo). My father and I broke it in 1969 and got about 30 years later. From the covers of the great comics I have them all but # 3 and # 4. # 7 I have only takes 3 to 199 comics. Alla as the number 350 on it is that almost all the comics are pure pictures. I have only one holy comics that does not appear on the cover # 405 and displayed the face of a vampire. Also I have a comic which the saint does not appear on the inside.
Apart from the graphic novels of El Santo, other graphic novels or comics have in your large collection? De Huracan I have just one comic did not pay much mind. Blue Demon the ones I have are Mexico original. Of the 117 comics I have from B. Demon the highest number is # 135 and stop buying because they were doing well ugly. There were pictures were drawings. So began the Black Latigo comics with drawings and then they did in fotonovela. Also I have 300 of Tarzan in Novaro, 79, black whip (WWTP), the gold Charrito.
