The text was titled "Frenos con final feliz", which is Spanish for happy ending brakes, I guess. It tells the story of a Cuban mechanical engineer who studied in the USSR, dreams of being rich and is devoted to his father's old car, a Ford Fairlane. I was hired to do a couple of drawings, one of them the capital M with which opens the text.
If you can read Spanish, you can read the story right here.
