BIO:

THE WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CARTOONS.Maurice Horn. Chelsea House Publishers (Philadelphia). May 1999:

" SALAS MARTINEZ , ARMANDO (1946- ) Spanish cartoonist born January 30, 1946, in Santa Marta de Ortigueira, a little town in the province of Galicia, in northwestern Spain.

Armando Salas since childhood displayed a love of drawing and comics , with a special fondness for comic strips and humor cartoons. Very soon he was sending his cartoons to magazines and daily newspapers, while taking classes in drawing. He also studied banking and got a job in a bank, which allowed him to dedicate his afternoons and evenings to cartooning.

He began working for the daily Ferrol Diario in 1972, and a year later he contributed cartoons to Heraldo Espanol, the most important paper in the province of Aragon.

For the comics magazine El Globo he created his most famous series, El Eden, renamed Adan for publication in book form. This cartoon series was a satirical view of Adam and Eve, in which Eve, a blonde in the Marylin Monroe mold, appeared in bikini. Sensual, provocative and sexy, how this series passed the censors no one knows! While working in several mediums, he also created another cartoon series, Jauja y Colas. Another successful series came in 1981: Merlina, about a female wizard who was beautiful, sexy and ready for anything. Less than six months later Merlina was also published in book ...
