R.I.P CARLOS PACHECO
What a crappy week this has been, and I’m not talking about the election results.
First I got news of Kevin O’Neill (Marshal Law, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) passing a few days ago. Then I learned that Carlos Pacheco Perujo passed away this morning.
Carlos Pacheco, a Spanish artist, spent a long time working on this side of the Atlantic for both Marvel Comics and DC Comics.
Although he had been doing work for Marvel since 1995, the first book I remember seeing Pacheco’s work on was the 12-issue Avengers Forever. I initially picked up the book because it was written by Kurt Busiek, who was doing a bang-up job with George Perez on Avengers at the time. I liked the story, and was very impressed with the artwork.
This was also the first time that Pacheco worked with inker Jesus Merino and - like Kirby & Sinnott, Swan & Anderson, Adams & Giordano, and Byrne and Austin - it was a match made in Heaven. Merino would continue to be Pacheco’s regular inker for many, many years afterward.
Pacheco also had runs on Fantastic Four and X-Men.
Of course, with me being a DC guy, I was very excited when PAcheco moved to DC tin 2003 to draw a 96-page JLA/JSA crossover, Virtue and Vice, wherein he depicted the entire roster of each team.
Pacheco also drew covers for several issues of the JSA’s own book.
He then teamed with writer Jeph Loeb for a few issues of Superman/Batman.
Then he joined up again with Kurt Busiek for (most of) a year-long run on Superman.
Busiek and Pacheco teamed-up again for their creator-owned series Arrowsmith.
Arrowsmith: Behind Enemy Lines, the second volume in the series, finished up earlier this year. The trade paperback collecting the series was released in September, at around the same time that Pacheco announced he was retiring from comics due to being diagnosed with ALS.
Despite the dire news, I was hoping we’d have more time to spend with him. As is always the case with someone you love and admire, they always pass away far too soon.
Rest in peace, Carlos.

To be honest, I thought we’d never see more Arrowsmith stories from Kurt Busiek & Carlos Pacheco beyond the first series. Which would have been a shame, because that first series, introducing a fantasy world version of WWI where magic has been weaponized, is a favorite comic of mine. I love how it balances the wonder of a magical world where fighter pilots fly with the power of little dragons on their shoulders with the bleakness of a world in transition as seen during the First World War. I’m over the moon that we’re FINALLY getting a new story from these guys, and I’m glad that has been accompanied by this gorgeous hardcover collection of the first series. #thismakesmehappy #books #2022reading #bookstagram #comics #graphicnovel #fantasycomics #wwi #worldwarone #arrowsmith #kurtbusiek #carlospacheco #imagecomics #sosmartintheirfineuniforms https://www.instagram.com/p/CdyQ1LVp9vs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
