Eustaquio Segrelles del Pilar (14 January 1936 - 9 August 2025; Albaida, Valencia, Spain)
Eustaquio Segrelles was a talented Spanish (watercolor) painter and comic artist. He began his career in Valencia as an assistant to Eduardo Vaño in doing Roberto Alcázar. It was for the publishing house Maga where he created his best known comic, Los Imbatibos (1963).

He also made episodes of other series, including Aquiles, La Cuadrilla and Johnny Pacífico. For the collection Joyas Literarias Juveniles he made a comic adaptation of Nuevas Aventuras de Dick Turpin in 1973. He is a cousin of comic artist Vicente Segrelles.

He was born in Albaida in 1936, to a family of artists. His father, Ramiro Segrelles Albert, died in 1946, and was also a painter, like his famous uncle José Segrelles Albert (1885-1969). The young Eustaquio dreamt of being an artist, and that is why he studied Fine Arts and improved his skills. At age 18 he started to paint with oil and developed a penchant for drawing. At that age, with discipline and talent, he entered the publishing world as an illustrator. He began to exhibit at 21 years of age.

Segrelles had a truly intense and prolific career as an artist, and devoted himself to his vocation. It is estimated that he created about 10,000 paintings of all sizes during his life.
