José Mallorquí (Barcelona, 1913-Madrid, 1972) represents one of the greatest exponents of popular culture during the Franco regime, whose main speaker was the radio. The character of El coyote, created by Mallorquí as a serial novel in 1943, has been a universal literary myth through the translations into sixteen different languages that have been made throughout the world.

Mallorquí's first and main link with radio fiction during his 18 years of uninterrupted work at Cadena SER (1954-1972) was the western series Dos Hombres Buenos. The digitization and publication of these scripts will contribute to a deeper knowledge of the character and his radio career.

The Mallorquí legacy obtained by the UAB's Biblioteca de Comunicació i Hemeroteca General is unprecedented and extremely important for understanding not only Mallorcan's professional career, but also the history of radio and popular culture during the Franco regime. That is why we must be grateful to the family of the writer and screenwriter who entrusted us with the transfer of his personal collection.
