Alvarez/Original work entirely in pastel. Beautifully executed. Signed. TBE+. 35 X 50 cm Domingo Alvarez (1942) is a Spanish artist. Barcelona-based cartoonist and illustrator associated with the Selecciones llustradas agency in the 60s and 70s, working mainly for the foreign market, with romantic and war comics for Fleetway and DC Thompson (Marilyn, Valentine, Roxy, Mirabelle, Commando), and also with some horror comics for Skywald (Psycho, Nightmare, Scream). In Spain, he has collaborated on publications such as Delta, Delta 99 and Gringo.
