Dedication to a Legend....Carlos Meglia 1957-2008
This charcoal caricature is my Tribute to one of my all-time favorite Artists who inspired me.
Meglia debuted in 1974 as the assistant of the illustrator Oswal. Two years later, he made science-fiction illustrations for El Péndulo, as well as covers for the publisher Record. In 1983 Meglia illustrated La Biblia para los niños, Don Quijote and "Martin Fierro". In the early 1980s, he contributed to Satiricón, a humorous periodical and El Gráfico, a sports magazine.
In 1983, Meglia made his first short comic stories for Argentine publisher Record, and in the three years that followed, he worked mainly in the animation field (The Smurfs, The Flintstones and Scooby Doo). He teamed up with Carlos Trillo in 1987, and started Irish Coffee, a series about a detective with supernatural gifts. Also with Trillo, Meglia launched the Cybersix series in 1991, a series in which he intensively uses the computer. In 2002, he settled in Spain and began working for the US market. He cooperated on Dark Horse titles like Star Wars: Underworld and Spyboy, as well as DC's Superman/Tarzan: Sons of the Jungle, Crimson, Adventures of Superman and Monster World, and Marvel's Elektra. In 2005, he created the series Canari with Crisse.
Meglia died on August 15, 2008 at the age of 50
