Virgilio Martínez Gaínza (1931-2008 Cuba) is a commercial artist and one of Cuba's most notable cartoonists. He began his career as a commercial artist in 1949, publishing his first political cartoon in A Barrer and then worked extensively in the underground press, such as Mella and Carta Semanal. Among his first comic creations was the lucky character 'Pucho', which later became 'Cucho', whose adventures appeared in the clandestine magazine Mella in the 1955-1959 period. He signed the strip with Laura, to protect himself from the repression of the Fulgencio Bastista regime. - Lambiek Comiclopedia
