Tello

If you think it's easy to mix Murry and Tello - then you
have also a great change to mix Tello with some other artists.
Some Anders Sorensen also draw a couple shorter Murry-like
fillers, but from the late 1970's to the end of the 80's
especially Antonio Bancells did almost as much stories as
Tello did.

If talking about longer stories (12-25 pages) printed in parts
both Tello and Bancells draw some 50 stories each (total for
both ca. 100 stories).

By my opinion in the 70's the stories and the scripts Tello's
draw were rather naive and clearly aimed for the younger readers
(as well as stories by Danish Nils Rydahl and Adrian Sorensen)
But somehow the style of the stories turned to more mature in
the late 70's and I think Tello did his best works from that
time to the somewhere middle of the 80's.


But back to Murry: I think it's a true shame the Finnish weekly
has almost turned to a pure DUCK retro magazine. No more Paul Murry
stories are printed. Some Ferioli time to time but mostly just
Manuel Gonzales strips and some dusty looking mutilated Gottfredson
pages.
