Everything about Francisco Solano L Pez Comics totally explained
Francisco Solano López (born
October 26,
1928 in
Buenos Aires) is a
comics artist. Acknowledged as one of the most influential
Argentine comics artists, he's best know as the co-creator of
El Eternauta.
Biography
He began his career in 1953 working for the publishing house Columba where he illustrated the series
Perico y Guillerma. Working for Editorial Abril he met
Héctor Germán Oesterheld, assigned to illustrate his series
Bull Rocket for the magazine
Misterix.
They collaborated on the series
Pablo Maran and
Uma-Uma, before joining to start Oesterheld's publishing house Editorial Frontera.
For the Frontera first publication of the monthly
Hora Cero, the team produced the series
Rolo el marciano adoptivo and
El Héroe.
López also alternated as artist on the
Ernie Pike series with
Hugo Pratt,
Jorge Moliterni and
José Muñoz.
On September 4, 1957 in the publication of
Hora Cero Suplemento Semanal, the
science-fiction series
El Eternauta made its first appearance.
A success,
El Eternauta came to the attention of the authorities as the series featured commentary of the political situation of Argentina and neighbouring
Chile, prompting López to flee for Spain to avoid possible arrest.
In 1959 López began working for
Fleetway in
Madrid and later
London, producing artwork for a host of series, including
Galaxus: The Thing from Outer Space,
Pete's Pocket Army,
The Drowned World,
Janus Stark, and
Kelly's Eye.
Having returned to Argentina, López resumed collaboration with Oesterheld on
El Eternauta II in 1968 with a new publishing house, Editorial Records. He also started work on science-fiction saga
Slot-Barr with writer
Ricardo Barreiro, and the police series
Evaristo with Carlos Sampayo.
In the late 70s López again fled Argentian following persecution from the authorities, and from Madrid he arranged the publication of both
El Eternauta and
Slot-Barr with the Italian magazines
LancioStory and
Skorpio.
In the 90s, Solano Lopez produced work in the
erotic comics genre, achieving hits with
El Prostíbulo del Terror, from a story by Barreiro, and
Silly Symphony, made for the magazine
Kiss Comix.
