Carlos Ezquerra

His son Hector inked and coloured in his pencil work for Strontium Dog between 2008 and 2012.[15]

The character of Stogie from the long-running 2000 AD strip Robo-Hunter was given the full name Carlos Sanchez Robo-Stogie in tribute to Ezquerra.

Other work

Ezquerra collaborated numerous times with writer Garth Ennis on Bloody Mary, Adventures in the Rifle Brigade, War Stories, a Hitman annual with artist Steve Pugh, and two Preacher specials (The Good Old Boys and The Saint of Killers miniseries) for DC Comics, and Just a Pilgrim for Black Bull Entertainment.

Ezquerra occasionally used the pen name "L. John Silver" for work such as 2000 AD's "The Riddle of the Astral Assassin!" prog 118, and ABC Warriors, progs 134–136.
