Veteran Spanish Comics Artist Carlos Pacheco Passes Away

Goodbye To A Spanish Master Comic Artist

It’s been an awful week for the comics industry as we lost Kevin O’Neill earlier on and now the incredibly sad news just reached us that Carlos Pacheco, who has been struggling with a serious illness since the Spring, just passed away this afternoon…

Here are a few reactions from people in the comics industry

To say I’m shocked about this is an understatement. I’m learning that he had ALS and that he retired from drawing. And now…. This year has been brutal to the comic’s community. RIP CARLOS PACHECO. Words I never thought I’d type. pic.twitter.com/ZwEmiVsj05

RIP Carlos Pacheco.

An icon, an artist, a trailblazer through space and time.

His work on Avengers Forever #9 quite literally changed the course of my life – and though we never met, I’ll forever be in his debt.

Thinking of my friend Carlos today. And his family, his loved ones. So many around the world.

Still shattered.

The world is an emptier place without you. But it will always have what you made.

Fly well, sir. pic.twitter.com/D5rnrn5KZZ
