Great to hear from both o...Hi Alberto and Ernesto:<br /><br />Great to hear from both of you and thank you for your comments and best wishes!<br /><br />Ernesto:<br /><br />I tried to be cautious when I said that Carlos Roume did just "mediocre genre comics for children" in the U.K. because I didn't read every Fleetway comic by him. I read just one or two, in fact... <br />I've been reading a few war comics lately (I'm reading Yoshihiro Tatsumi's massive autobio _A Drifting Life_ right now, though...) and I'm surprised to discover, against my expectations, that some of the Fleetway stories are quite good. Western Fleetway stories, even if drawn by great Argentinian (and Uruguayan: Breccia; or Chilean: Castillo) artists let me a lot more cold though (they're formulaic, with an infallible - not to mention immortal - hero, etc...). <br />Anyway here's a list of Western comics drawn by Carlos Roume for _Cowboy Picture Library_ (I'm not sure if it's a complete list though): 358, 391, 398, 404, 405, 432, 434, 451, 466. Here's also a brief biographical note: http://www.dandare.info/artists/roume.htmIsabelinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507303808891054319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028806562606853589.post-32485733507281219062009-10-06T04:10:59.923-07:002009-10-06T04:10:59.923-07:00A belated happy birthday anyway, and I'm sad t...A belated happy birthday anyway, and I'm sad too to hear of the death of Carlos Roume, who I was only just begining to find out about. Probably not so strange for a 'gringo' living in New Zealand, but I always it seems just begin to discover someone and they pass away. I very much appreciate your gathered information on him and the English translations of passages from his pages. <br /><br />Perhaps you are right about his sojourn in Europe, but I'm sure he knew what he was up to and did his vey best with whatever came his way.I hope to learn a lot more about him-I don't think it's ever too late to become a fan and I thank you for showing me this little 'window' on some marvellous art.<br /><br />I'm a little sad too for losing another artist on Sunday, Mercedes Sosa, another wonderful person from Argentina.<br />Greetings from my litle place in the South Pacific and keep up your fine work.<br />Salud!Ernestohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080265102408250405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7028806562606853589.post-87261756468028933842009-09-30T23:33:14.831-07:002009-09-30T23:33:14.831-07:00Sad to know of Roume's passing.

He was a great portrayer of people, nature and animals - especially horses.Alberto Soareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01603871113008921432noreply@blogger.com
