Alfonso Font Carreras (born August 28, 1946 in Barcelona ) is a Spanish comic book author and illustrator.
life and work
Alfonso Font began illustrating Bruguera novels as an editorial apprentice in 1962 . His first comics were published by Editorial Toray and from the late 1960s he also worked for publishers in the USA. In 1975 he moved to Paris and drew for Pif Gadget magazine based on scenarios by Patrick Cothias and Roger Lecureux . With Cothias he created the science fiction series Alise et les Argonautes (German: The golden fleece ), with Lecureux Les Robinsons de la Terre . Back in Barcelona he wrote the scenarios of his comics himself from 1980 onwards. The series Clarke & Kubrick and El prisionero de las estrellas , which are also located in the science fiction area, were published .
From 1985 he drew Jon Rohner , an adventure series about a sailor in the South Pacific in the late 19th century. Both the setting, the Rohner figure and the drawing style are reminiscent of Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese in the South Sea Ballad . In Jon Rohner , Font adapts stories by Robert Louis Stevenson ( The Isle of Voices ) and Jack London ( The Terrible Solomon Islands ) and lets Stevenson and his wife Fanny, who lived in the South Seas from 1888, appear as characters.
In the historical comic Bri d'Alban , he changed genre again and portrayed Spain in the 12th century.
For the crime story Barcelona at Dawn , set in the 1920s, he worked again with a scenographer, here Juan Antonio de Blas, as well as with the drawings for the Italian western series Tex , (Mauro Boselli).
His erotic comic Carmen Bond was indexed in Germany in 1988 by the Federal Inspectorate for Writings Harmful to Young People.
Alfonso Font is married and has one daughter.
