Carlos Meglia (Dec 11, 1957 – Aug 15, 2008)

Argentinian comic book artist Carlos Meglia has Passed away. According to initial reports, he was admitted to the hospital after suffering from problems related to his aorta.

Meglia, who made his artistic debut in 1974 as the assistant for the illustrator Oswal was probably best known to American audiences for his more recent work on projects such as Adventures of Superman, Spyboy, Monster World and a brief stint on Marvel’s Elektra.

In his native Argentina (later in Spain & France), Meglia was a constant on the art scene since his debut, illustrating El PendulaLa Bible pour les Enfants and Don Quichotte magazine, record covers, and other works. He was perhaps best known to Spanish-speaking audiences for his collaborations with Carlos Trillo, with whom he created Irish Coffee and Cybersix. With Crisse, he created Canari in 2005. He was great friends with fellow artist Humberto Ramos. Meglia was more substance than style, but his flair was legendary, he infused personality in everything he drew.
