Jaime Brocal Remohi (1936 - June 29, 2002) (usually known in America as just Jaime Brocal) was a Spanish comic book artist.

Career

Born in Valencia, Spain, Brocal began his comic career at the age of 20, working of various adventure comics including Leslie Chartiers' The Saint and an adaption of Jules Verne's "From Earth to Moon". In 1960 at the age of 24 Brocal created the adventure series 'Katan' and 'Ogan'. Ten years later he would create the characters 'Kronan', 'Arcane' and 'Ta-ar'. He also worked on various hard cover books such as 'Gandhi', 'Lawrence of Arabia', 'The Jewish People' and 'The History of Islam'. He would later produce illustrations for Planeta de Agostini. He would also work for Japanese company Kodansha, drawing the series 'Kami no Ude', as well as stories with Leslie Charteris' 'The Saint' for the Swedish market and 'Tarzan' for the German publishers Ehapa.

Due to his connections with Seleciones Illustrada, Brocal joined Warren Publishing and was one of the first Spanish artists to work for Warren, premiering in Eerie 34 in July 1971. Brocal drew 16 stories for Warren from 1971 through 1974. While at Warren he drew multiple recurring characters including 'Targos' and 'The Mummy', one of the first continuing series published in Eerie.
