During the Golden Age of American comics The Adventures of Manuel
Pacifico: Tuna Fisherman were published as adventure
stories set on the open sea filled with facts and true stories
. “Although the characters and
adventures are fictional, the references to the tuna
industry, clothing, geography and history of" Latin America are factual,
explained the editor.

The magazine with script and drawings by Frieda
Bart Hind, was published between 1950-1951 in several editions, served as
merchandising and advertising to promote Breast-O-Chicken canned foods (Westgate-Sun Harbor Co). For readers to obtain a copy, they simply
had to send two canned food labels by mail and the magazines were
sent to their address.

It seemed to me that the The Adventures of Manuel
Pacifico's issue #2 published
this paper doll of the main character the skipper Manuel “Manny” Pacifico in
his weekend suit and adventurer outfit!

Durante a Golden Age dos comics americanos foram publicadas em banda
desenhas As Aventuras de Manuel Pacífico: o pescador de atum que eram passadas em mar aberto. “Apesar dos
personagens e aventuras serem de ficção, as referencias à
industria pesqueira, às roupas, geografia e história" da
América Latina são verídicas, esclarecia o editor. A revista
com argumento e desenho de Frieda Bart Hind, publicada entre
1950-1951 com várias edições, servia como merchandising e
publicidade para promover as conservas enlatadas da
Breast-O-Chicken(Westgate-Sun Harbor Co). Para os leitores conseguirem
um exemplar bastava enviar por correio duas etiquetas das conservas e
as revistas eram enviadas para a sua morada. Parece-me que no
segundo número foi publicada esta paper doll do personagem principal
Manuel “Manny” Pacífico com o seu fato de fim-de-semana e as suas
roupas de aventureiro! Até à próxima.
