Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted August 31, 2012 Showmasters Admin Share Posted August 31, 2012 Starting out providing covers and pin-ups for Marvel reprints in his native Spain and subsequently for Marvel UK, Carlos Pacheco first major work was Dark Guard. A 1993 Marvel UK four-parter it brought him to the attention of US publishers with DC the first to hire him – to draw three 1994 issues of The Flash – although Marvel was not far behind. His first project for the House of Ideas was Bishop, a 1994’s four-parter that led to the two issues of X-Universe the following year. With various fill-in issues, covers and pin-ups along the way, he then teamed up with writer Warren Ellis for the four issues of Starjammers before moving on to X-Men for 11 issues drawn across 13 months. His tenure on Marvel’s top-selling mutant title consolidated his position as a fan favourite artist, an accolade underscored by his next project, the Kurt Busiek-written Avengers Forever. From that 1998 12-parter he moved to Fantastic Four for which, beginning in 2000, he drew 11 of the 20 issues he co-wrote. Pacheco then migrated to DC for JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice, a high-profile hardcover graphic novel authored by David S Goyer and Geoff Johns and released at the end of 2002. The Spanish artist then reunited with Busiek for Arrowsmith, a 2003 six-parter produced under the auspices of DC’s WildStorm imprint. Next came a five-issue run on Superman/Batman. That was in 2005, the same year he collaborated with Johns on the relaunch of Green Lantern while – in 2006 – he again teamed up with Busiek, this time for 10 issues of Superman across 15 months. Constantly in demand for one-offs, covers and pin-ups, in 2009 Pacheco was back at Marvel, where he launched Ultimate Avengers, drawing the first six issues and following them with the four of 2010’s Ultimate Thor. His most recent major project was illustrating the first three 2012 issues of Marvel’s relaunched Uncanny X-Men. http://img.photobuck...th_image011.jpg http://img.photobuck...th_image012.jpg http://img.photobuck...th_image013.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
