Alfons Figueras i Fontanals (Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona, Spain, 15 October 1922 – 6 July 2009) was a Spanish cartoonist.
[1] In the latter, he published several works in the magazine Leyendas infantiles, where, among other things, he traced pages to color of the classic North Americans (Flash Gordon, Tarzan, Terry and the Pirates, etc.
After these publications, he left the realistic style definitively to concentrate in the humoristic comic strip.
Between 1948 and 1956 Figueras realised half hundred of different series for humoristic weekly, between which we can emphasize: In 1956 he moved to Venezuela,[3] the country in which he resided for twelve years, to work in studies of cartoons.
[5] The style of Figueras, with a noticeable predilection by surrealistic and fantastic humor, is unusual within the framework from the Spanish humoristic comic strip.
