Sergeant Kirk, El Sargento Kirk or Sgt. Kirk, is the title and main character of a western comics series by Italian comic book creator Hugo Pratt and Argentine author Héctor Germán Oesterheld.[1]
Publication history
The series, originally created in Argentina during the Golden era of Argentine comic, was first published in issue 225 of the weekly comics magazine Misterix on January 9, 1953.[2] Sargento Kirk continued its run in Misterix until issue 475 on December 20, 1957, when Oesterheld's own publishing house Ediciones Frontera was established, and the series resumed in the Frontera magazine Hora Zero.[3] It ran until 1959 when Pratt departed from Argentina. Additional Sargento Kirk stories were published into the early 70s, drawn by Jorge Moliterni, Porreca and Gisela Dexter.[4]
Synopsis
Sergeant Kirk is a former soldier of the American Civil War who goes on to serve in the post-war Wild West. Forced to participate in a massacre of American Indians by the U.S. Army, Kirk deserts and devotes himself to defending the Indians.[1] An essentially noble man, Kirk treats even his enemies with tolerance and humanism.[5] Among Kirk's companions appearing in the series are "El Corto”, Dr. Forbes and the Native American boy, Maha.[6]
Magazine
Sgt. Kirk was chosen as the name of the magazine Pratt launched in Italy in July 1967, aided financially by the patron Florenzo Ivaldi. This carried showcased work from the Argentine period, as well as the series Luck Star O'Hara, Gli Scorpioni del Deserto, and the first publication of Corto Maltese in the story Una Ballata del Mare Salato.[7][8] The magazine maintained regular distribution until 1969, and was issued sporadically during the 70s.
