Born in Madrid, he began his career in the 1960s with series like Cinco por infinito, published in English by Continuity Comics as "Zero Patrol" (heavily retouched by editor Neal Adams). In the 1970s he drew numerous short stories for the Warren horror magazines Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella. Eerie reprinted his series Manly as "Dax the Warrior" in issues #39-41, 43-50, and 52. He designed the "metal bikini" for the character Red Sonja, in Savage Tales #3, Comixscene #5, and in the first issue of The Savage Sword of Conan and pencilled her first solo story, which was inked by Neal Adams and Ernie Chan. He also redesigned Satana for Marvel Comics and drew her second solo story in Vampire Tales issue 3. In issue 4 of the same series he drew an outstading adaptation of the short story The Drifting Snow by August Derleth.
