Alfonso Azpiri Mejía (17 January 1947 − August 18, 2017[1]) was a Spanish comic book artist, whose work was mainly of the adult variety.

Biography

Azpiri was born in

Frankenstein monster
.

His work has been translated and published in a number of magazines, including

Heavy Metal and Penthouse Comix
. His style is easily recognisable, especially his lavishly elegant and sensual, pouting females. He has been mainly involved in the
1001 Arabian Nights
type. He also raises the issue of conflict between peoples, such as in science fiction stories where the inhabitants of soon-to-be colonised planets are massacred so that humans from Earth can move in.

One of his most recurring characters is

Barbarella-like space adventurer who travels the galaxy accompanied by two droids, the R2-D2-like ADL and the C-3PO-like Arnold.[2] Arnold's main function is to satisfy the ever-passionate Lorna whenever there are no human males, females or suitably endowed aliens available. Lorna`s principal enemy, the crime lord Mouse, bears some resemblance to Jabba the Hutt
.

Less adult-oriented, and suitable for younger readers, was

Canal Plus
.

Azpiri's other productions include

martial artist
and detective.

Both Lorna and Mot were featured in video games, Lorna by Topo Soft and Mot by Opera Soft.

In 2012 he collaborated with the comic book Hero Seeds, drawing two covers of the comics and several drawings in the same comics.
