Welcome to the dark and twisted world of Jayme Cortez, one of the most celebrated illustrators of Brazilian horror comics. With an artistic style that was both chilling and beautiful, Cortez created some of the most memorable covers in the genre's history.
From the grotesque to the weird, his artwork was a terrifying, technicolour feast for the
eyes. This book features the comic covers Cortez produced for the Brazilian publisher Continental/Outubro, each one more bone-chiling than the last, along with a look at some of his other illustration work.
Cortez was born in 1926 in Lisbon, Portugal. He began his career in 1944, drawing comic strips in the weekly newspaper O Mosquito. In 1947, he migrated to São Paulo in Brazil and started creating cartoons, comic strips and illustrations for several newspapers. During the 1950s, Cortez enjoyed tremendous success in his adopted country, thanks to his work in the magazine O Terror Negro (The Black Terror), published by La Selva. In 1986, he was awarded the Caran D'Ache prize for illustration. Cortez passed away in São Paulo in 1987, at the age of 60, leaving behind an enormous collection of work across various fields of illustration.
