Title: Tabú, el vengador de los esclavos
Description: A Spanish pulp comic book written in the early 1940's by an anonymous author and illustrator. From an European perspective, a black hero, Tabu, with the aid of his friend Kimbo, acts as an avenger to help free slaves and battle native American Indians during the  U.S. Civil War era. The comic book is not dated but it was probably issued in the early 1940's, when European hero and action pulp comic books emerged as a genre. The series ran for 60 issues. Front covers are illustrated in vibrant colors, with a few black and white illustrations in the text, but there is more text than is usual in comic books.
