Biography

José Ortiz' career began at an early age, winning an artistic tournament held by the Spanish magazine "Chicos". After a period of making pocket sized comics, he created the series "Sigur el Vikingo" and "Johnny Fogata" in 1959, and "Carolynn Baker" for the English newspaper "Daily Express" in 1962.cite web | last =Lambiek Comiclopedia | title = José Ortiz | url = http://lambiek.net/artists/o/ortiz_jose.htm ]

Ortiz joined Warren Publishing in 1974 due to his connections with the Valencia studio of Selecciones Illustrada. He would remain with Warren until 1983 and drew more stories for that company (approximately 120) than any other artist.cite book | year=2001 | title=The Warren Companion by David A. Roach and Jon B. Cooke| page=253| publisher=TwoMorrowsPublishing| language=English ] His work included the series "Apocalypse", "Night of the Jackass" and "Coffin" in Eerie, as well as "Pantha" in Vampirella and numerous stand alone stories. Ortiz would also draw Vampirella herself in issues 35 and 36 of that title. He won the award for 'Best All Around Artist' at Warren in 1974.

Following this period in the U.S. comics industry making horror comics, he returned to Spain and formed a lasting and fertile working partnership with Antonio Segura in 1981, initiated by the serial publication of "Hombre", a post-apocalyptic saga, in the magazine "Cimoc".

By 1983, Ortiz and Segura joined with several other artists including Leopold Sánchez, Manfred Sommer and Jordi Bernet, to form the short-lived publishing house Metropol with the artists' interest in mind, responsible for three comics magazines, "Metropol", "Mocambo" and "KO cómics".cite web | last =murciacomic.com | title = Ortiz | url = http://www.murciacomic.com/quienesquien/ortiz.htm es_icon]

During the 1980s Ortiz also produced work for a number of British publications including "The Tower King" and "The House of Daemon" for "Eagle" and "The Thirteenth Floor" for "Scream!".

In addition to the continued run of "Hombre", Ortiz and Segura created "Ives" and "Las Mil Caras de Jack el Destripador" ("The Thousand Faces of Jack the Ripper") the following years, later renaming "Ives" to "Morgan". In 1987, they began the humorous sci-fi series "Burton & Cyb", followed in 1990 by the series "Juan el Largo".cite web | last = Francisco | first = Jose Carlos | publisher = texwiller.blog.com reprint| title = Tex Habla Español | url =http://texwiller.blog.com/1393026/ pt_icon]

Since 1993, Ortiz has focused on the Italian comics market, illustrating stories for "Tex Willer", "Ken Parker" and "Magico Vento".
