This is the unique original Pen & Ink Wash by Nadir Quinto.

The story is The Pirates and the Cheese Cannonballs. Here we see the town Mayor ordering his men to attack a ship by firing cannonballs made of cheese. Very fishy. Lovely pen, ink and wash work by the talented children's artist Nadir Quinto.

From the series Tales from Many Lands that ran in the pages of Treasure in the mid 1960s.

  • Artist Biography

    Nadir Quinto (1918 - 1994; Milan, Italy)
    Nadir Quinto's contributions to the Thriller Picture Library were strips featuring the adventures of Robin Hood. Nadir Quinto was born in Milan and attended the Accademia di Brera and, immediately after the War, began contributing picture strips to most of the top Italian comic journals such as Dinamite, Albi di Salgari, Festival and L'Intrepido. In 1946 he began drawing and lettering strips for Corrieri dei Piccoli. After his brief time drawing Robin Hood strips for the TPL, he left comics to concentrate on illustration, only to return to drawing strips for the Italian comic journals in the 1970s.
