Eduardo Teixeira Coelho, 1919-2005



The great Portuguese adventure comics illustrator Eduardo Teixeira Coelho died yesterday in Florence, where he had lived for several years. Perhaps better known early by the pseudonym Martin Sievre, Coelho's career began in Portugal. His biggest showcase was the magazine Mosquito, where he started work in 1943. In the 1950s, Coelho moved to Brazil, where he drew and taught at the Pan-American School of Art in Sao Paolo. Returning to France in 1955, he began a relationship with the magazine Vaillant (later to become Pif-Gadget). For them he worked on his signature series Ragnar le Viking and other titles with writers like Jean Ollivier and Roger Lecureux. He soon settled into a comfortable groove of mostly adventure strip through the next three decades.
