Lucho Olivera

Luis "Lucho" Olivera began his career in 1962, drawing for Vea y Lea and Leoplán, as well as illustrating several covers for Hora Cero and Frontera. In 1964, he commenced his career as a fulltime comics artist and contributed to Misterix and to the publishing house Columba. He was the first artist to draw the 'Nippur de Laggash' series, that appeared in D'Argagnan magazine from 1968. 'Nippur' was the first comic written by the popular author Robin Wood.

The series, about a mythical warrior from a lost past in Minor Asia, appeared for over 30 years and was drawn by several artists. Other notable creations were 'Gilgamesh' (1971) and 'Dico, o Artilheiro'. He then joined the publishing house Record, and created the adventure and heroic fantasy series 'Galaxia Cero', 'Yo Ciborg', 'Ronar' and 'Planeta Rojo'.
