MADRID, July 15 - Francisco Ibanez, Spain's best-known comic artist of the late 20th century and who was famous for the children's strip "Mortadelo and Filemon", has died, his publisher said on Saturday. He was 87.
Ibanez grew up in Barcelona where he started drawing on the corner of his father's newspaper, having found no other paper to work on at his family home. Much to his father's annoyance he quit the bank to work in comics and in 1958 "Mortadelo and Filemon", featuring two secret agents who work for the TIA, a parody of the CIA, was born.
"We bid farewell to the most important figure in Spanish comics," Penguin tweeted. "He leaves us the enormous legacy of his lucidity, sense of humour and more than 50,000 pages with memorable characters that have made a large number of readers happy."
