Sergio Aragonés Domenech ( born 6 September 1937, Sant Mateu, Castellón, Spain ) is a cartoonist and writer best known for his contributions to Mad Magazine and creator of the comic book Groo the Wanderer.

Among his peers and fans, Aragonés is widely regarded as " the world's fastest cartoonist.

* DC Super-Stars Presents ... ( 1977, DC Comics ), the thirteenth issue of this DC Comics artist anthology series is subtitled " The Wild and Wacky World of Sergio Aragonés " and features all new stories and gags.

The series is also influenced somewhat by Groo the Wanderer by Sergio Aragonés ( Sakai is the letterer for that series ), but the overall tone of Usagi Yojimbo is more serious and reflective.

First published in 1984, the comic continues to this day, with Sakai as the lone author and nearly sole artist ( Tom Luth serves as the main colorist on the series, and Sergio Aragonés has made two small contributions to the series: the story " Broken Ritual " is based on an idea by Aragonés, and he served as a guest inker for the black-and-white version of the story " Return to Adachi Plain " that is featured in the Volume 11 trade paperback edition of Usagi Yojimbo ).

Groo the Wanderer is a fantasy / comedy comic book series written and drawn by Sergio Aragonés, rewritten, coplotted and edited by Mark Evanier, lettered by Stan Sakai, and colored by Tom Luth.

In a behind-the-scenes episode, it is suggested that Aragonés had hired actor Robert Goulet to pose as the Sage.

Groo is initially plotted, roughly written ( it has been said that Aragonés does to English, his third language, what Picasso did to faces ), and roughly drawn by Aragonés, after consulting with Evanier.

Finally, Luth does the coloring, described as an unenviable task, since Aragonés ' artwork is usually quite detailed ( with fancy clothing, building and nature scenes inspired by National Geographic and other sources ) and can be full of hundreds of people in one scene.

Rufferto was based on Aragonés ' own dog named Rufferto, who is actually more mottled than spotted.

Aneto holds the largest glacier in Spain, covering 79. 6 ha in 2005 ; it is shrinking rapidly due to warming summer temperatures and decreasing winter precipitation over the twentieth century-it covered 106. 7 ha in 1981, and over 200 ha in the 19th century ( Boletín Glaciológico Aragonés, 2004 ).

José Luis Aragonés Suárez (; born July 28, 1938 ), usually referred to as Luis Aragonés and sometimes simply as Luis, is a former Spanish footballer and national coach.

He became the head coach of the Turkish football team Fenerbahçe after Euro 2008, and this is the first time that Aragonés has coached outside of his native Spain.

In response to this, Aragonés has said in public that he is not a racist, and claimed that he had black friends.

This is the longest such streak, surpassing runner-up Sergio Aragonés by nine issues.

" He later commented, " The only thing I wanted to say is that these are not clear times for the national squad after losing to Northern Ireland .... but it was not my intention to attack the team or Luis Aragonés ".

Prohías did receive Aragonés very enthusiastically and, with difficulty, introduced the young artist to the Mad editors as his " Sergio, my brother from Mexico ," temporarily leading to even further confusion, as the Mad editors thought he was " Sergio Prohías.

" The Comics Journal has described Aragonés as " one of the most prolific and brilliant cartoonists of his generation.
