Reissue of 1954. Hardcover. Beige cloth over moss green paper; gilt decoration and titling on spine. w/dustjacket in protective mylar wrapper. 170 pp. including an index. 141 illustrations by the author. Spanish language text. Inscribed to John Fulton, the first American matador in Spain, also Peter O� Toole� s double in Lawrence of Arabia and guide to James Michener during research for his book, Iberia. Signed by the author, Martinez de Leon, Seville 1959 on the front free endpaper. In 1954, Los Amigos del Toro was reissued as a title under the Aguilar publishing label in a pocket format (not landscape as if it was the first edition) and with the subtitle Bullfighting: Its Ills and Its Remedy. It was � signed� by De Leon� s popular long-standing character Oselito. In this book, Mart�nez de Le� n transmitted his philosophy of bullfighting, festive but not devoid of love for the orderly regulation of the Fiesta. The book reissued in its pages 137 to 166 the comic book The Friends of the Bull or the Healthy Part of the Hobby. The book was one of the works of Spanish authors that went unnoticed because of its quality as a hybrid and its unique use of humor in post-war Spain. Following Evaristo Acevedo� s statement that between 1939 and 1969, � humor did not exist,� in Spain, Tubau did not cite this book or other works by Mart�nez de Le� n in his review of the graphic humor of the Spanish postwar period. The reissue of bullfighting regulations according to Oselito could have something to do with the author� s desire to return to graphic humor. 8vo.
