OSPAAAL (cover artist: Rafael Enríquez), Tricontinental magazine, No. 101, September-October 1985, offset print

Tricontinental was the trilingual magazine (Spanish, English, French) published by OSPAAAL (Organización de Solidaridad con los Pueblos de África, Asia y América Latina), founded in 1966 following the Tricontinental Conference in Havana. The magazine served as a vital platform for revolutionary movements and anti-imperialist solidarity across three continents during the Cold War era.

This September-October 1985 special issue commemorates Che Guevara's legacy with youth movements worldwide. Cover designer Rafael Enríquez creates a striking pop art portrait of Che using a sophisticated color gradient technique that transitions from warm coral-orange to deep burgundy, with bold black cross-hatched linework defining Che's iconic features—the penetrating upward gaze, full beard, and revolutionary bearing. The minimalist composition and dramatic tonal shifts recall both Andy Warhol's celebrity portraits and Cuban revolutionary poster aesthetics, transforming Che into an enduring symbol of youth rebellion and idealism.

The issue features a selection of Che Guevara's speeches to young people, alongside articles on Jamaica's foreign policy evolution, liberation theology perspectives, African economic crises, and updates on revolutionary movements. The table of contents page employs two iconic Che images: Alberto Korda's famous 1960 "Guerrillero Heroico" photograph and a symbolic silhouette of a revolutionary figure behind barbed wire, emphasizing themes of imprisoned youth and the ongoing struggle for liberation.

Tricontinental was distributed internationally through OSPAAAL's network, reaching solidarity organizations, liberation movements, and progressive activists worldwide, making it one of the most important vehicles for Third World revolutionary thought during the 1960s through 1990s.
