Veteran Comic Artist Juan Giménez Dies of Coronavirus Complications at 76

Veteran comic artist Juan Giménez, who died on Caturday at 76 in the Argentine city of Mendoza due to complications caused by the rampant coronavirus.

The news of his death was confirmed by his longtime publisher, Humanoids.

Giménez is one of the most acclaimed artists of his generation and was extremely instrumental in the far-out, sci-fi-style seen in Heavy Metal and Métal Hurlant magazines.

Giménez has two legendary projects to his credit, the military sci-fi spectacle The Fourth Power, then the grand space opera saga The Metabarons, created with writer and filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky beginning in 1992, and published by Humanoids.

“I closely collaborated with Juan Giménez for 10 years and together, we created The Metabarons saga,” Jodorowsky said in an official statement.

“What facilitated my task as we offered him to work on the complex world of the Metabarons was that he already embodied the immortal No-Name, the last Metabaron. In my unconscious, Juan Giménez cannot die. He will continue on, drawing like the master warrior that he was.”

Creators and artists around the world, including Neil Gaiman, Mike Mignola, Matias Bergara, and Francesco Francavilla, took to social media to pay tribute to Giménez.
