(27/6/1922 - 21/5/1984, Puerto Rico)

Tarzan, by Rubimor
Ruben Moreira moved from his native Puerto Rico to the USA. Here, he took over the 'Tarzan' Sunday page from Burne Hogarth. He drew the strip from 1945 to 1947 under the pseudonym "Rubimor." His style was less spectaculair then Hogarth's, yet his storytelling had a resemblance to the writing of Tarzan's creator, Edgar Rice Burroughs. In the 1950s he drew for DC Comics, working on titles such as 'Wonder Woman' and 'Roy Raymond'. He retired from comics in 1962 and returned to Puerto Rico.
