He also created a full colour one-shot comic ‘El Pequeño Salvaje’ (‘The Small Savage’) for the French market. By 1981, when the Warren Publishing venture was over, a new adult comics magazine market opened up in Spain, and Ortiz created the series Hombre with writer Antonio Segura for the magazine Cimoc (‘comic’ spelled backwards). This post-apocalyptic series was a stark and gloomy look at what lay ahead for humanity, featuring All images © Look and Learn ABOVE: Sunshine , watercolour on board (1972). Probably done for Once Upon a Time . If Ortiz had wanted to, he could have become a great watercolour artist.
