Born in
Montevideo , Uruguay, Breccia moved with his parents toBuenos Aires , Argentina when he was three years old. After leaving school, Breccia worked in a tripe packing plant and in 1938 he got a job for the magazine "El Resero", where he wrote articles and drew the covers.He began to work professionally in 1939, when he joined the publishing house Manuel Láinez. He worked on magazines such as "Tit-Bits", "Rataplán" and "El Gorrión" where he created
comic strip s such as "Mariquita Terremoto ", "Kid Río Grande ", "El Vengador " (based on a popular novel), and other adaptations.During the 1950s he became an "honorary" member of the "
Group of Venice " that consisted of expatriate Italian artists such asHugo Pratt ,Ido Pavone ,Horacio Lalia ,Faustinelli and Ongaro.Cite web|last=Lambiek Comiclopedia|title=Alberto Breccia|url=http://lambiek.net/artists/b/breccia.htm] Other honorary members were Solano Lopez,Carlo Cruz andArturo Perez del Castillo . With Hugo Pratt, he started thePan-American School of Art in Buenos Aires. In 1957 he joined publisherEditorial Frontera , under the direction ofHéctor Germán Oesterheld , where he created several "Ernie Pike " stories. In 1958 Breccia's series "Sherlock Time " ran in the comic magazine "Hora Cero Extra", with scripts by Oesterheld.In 1960 he began to work for European publishers via a Buenos Aries based art agency: for British publishing house
Fleetway he drew a few westerns and war stories. This period did not last long. (His sonEnrique Breccia would also draw a few war stories for Fleetway in the late 1960s, such as "Spy 13".Breccia and Oesterheld collaborated to produce one of the most important comic strips in history, "
Mort Cinder ", in 1962 . Interestingly, the face of the immortal Cinder is modeled after Breccia's assistant, Horacio Lalia, and the appearance of his companion, theantique dealer Ezra Winston, is actually Breccia's own. Cinder and Winston's strip began onJuly 26 ,1962 , in issue Nº 714 of "Misterix" magazine, and ran until 1964 .In 1968 Breccia was joined by his son, Enrique, in a project to draw the comic biography of "Che", the life of
Che Guevara , again with a script provided by Oesterheld. This comic book is considered the chief cause behind Oesterheld's disappearance.In 1969 Oesterheld rewrote the script of "
El Eternauta ", for the Argentinian magazine "Gente". Breccia drew the story with a decidedly experimental style, resorting to diverse techniques. The resulting work was anything but conventional and moving away from the commercial. Breccia refused to modify its style, which added to the tone of the script, and was much different from Francisco Solano López original.Other stories include: "Cthulhu Mythos", "A Certain Daneri" (text by
Carlos Trillo ), a "Historia grafica del Chile " and "Perramus ", inspired by the work of the poetJuan Sasturain .Alberto Breccia died in Buenos Aires in 1993.
