Fred Carrillo, 1926-2005
The Filipino comics and illustration web site
Komikero Comics Journal is reporting that veteran artist and animator
Fred Carrillo passed away sometime last week. According to
KCJ, Carillo had been suffering from lymphoma and Alzheimer's Disease, and returned home from the United States earlier this year because of his illnesses.
Carillo's career started contributing artistic propaganda to the Panay guerilla movement during the Second World War. He split time between comics and animation after the war, contributing two features to the magazine Bayani before moving onto a fruitful relationship with ACE Publications. Carillo later became art director at Espesyal Komics, and began to work internationally in the early 1970s.
American titles that used Carillo as artist included
Eerie,
Capt. Power,
Phantom Stranger,
GI Combat,
Weird War Tales,
Ghosts,
The Conan Saga,
Secrets of Haunted House,
Savage Sword of Conan and
The Unexpected.
