Isidre (or Isidro) Monés was born in Barcelona in 1947. When he was fifteen, he started to work on advertising as an apprentice. He was a drawer at several advertising agencies, until he became an illustrator at the age of 20. He illustrated children's books, covers and trading cards. Monés felt professionally attracted to comics when he discovered the work of such innovative artists as Dino Battaglia. He entered this field by means of the international agency Selecciones Ilustradas in the early 1970s. His works appeared in US horror magazines Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella, where he collaborated with such script-writers as Doug Moench, Budd Lewis and Nicola Cuti. With Gerry Boudreau he did the series 'Doctor Archeaus' in Eerie. Later on he drew SF stories for magazine 1984 and also for the Scottish market. He alternated them with his illustration work.
