José González started his career at the age of 17 working on Rosas Blancas and Brigitte for the company Editorial Toray.

Due to his connections with the Selecciones Ilustradas agency, González started working for Warren Publishing in 1971.

The cover of #19 featured González's memorable full figure painting of Vampirella, a bat balanced on her outstretched hand, which came to symbolize the character on everything from posters to books to stickers and pillows.

It was an icon, as a pin-up for adolescents (of all ages) that his vision of her worked best since her strips, particularly in the early day, failed to live up to their potential.

From 1971 through 1983, González drew 58 stories for Warren Publishing, putting him in the top 10 most prolific artists at the company.
