Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, Raúl Roux was a pioneer of
Argentinean comics. Roux started his career in 1922, drawing
cartoons in Páginas de Columba. In 1928, he was the first artist
for El Tony, Argentina's first magazine entirely dedicated to
comics. For this magazine, Roux drew the adventures of the cat
'Rulito, el Gato Atorrante', as well as the first realistic
Argentine comic, an adaptation of Grimm's 'Hansel y Gretel'. He
also drew the series 'Hombres que han Conquistado Fama' in El
Gráfico for six years. He was present in La Razón with 'Más
Allá', an educational comic about scientific advances. For
Patoruzito, he drew 'Fiero a Fierro' and in Mundo Argentino his
comics 'Cuentos de Fogón' and 'Lanza Seca' appeared. For this
last comic, that appeared in 1949, Roux did extensive research
about the military campaigns against the Pampa's aborigines. El
