"History of the War" playing cards designed by the Argentinean cartoonist Lino Palacio (1903-1984) who was the author of unforgettable characters like Ramona, Don Fulgencio, Doña Tremebunda, Agapito and his shadow, Cicuta and many others.

These playing cards feature the best of the first 200 cartoons published in 1942... each of the four suits represents a different actor of WWII; Clubs: Sir Winston Churchill, Spades: Adolf Hitler, Hearts: Joseph Stalin, Diamonds: Benito Mussolini, 2 Jokers: Franklin Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler.
