El Misterioso Doctor Satán: Los Cromos



I only know about four or five words of Spanish, not counting Taco and Burrito, so I don't really know what this thing is but it looks like a Santo children's book. Yes, Santo the Mexican wrestler. I had always heard that he was very popular in Mexico but I never imagined a children's book.

  1. Dear friend, this is not Santo the wrestler! This is the cover of a trading cards book, which is based on the film serial "Mysterious Doctor Satan" (you can read about at IMDB). The book was published in Spain around 1945, and is ilustrated by artist Manuel Garulo, "Gutmaga".
    Greetings from Spain, and please be patient with my english.
