92 years old (Born on September 01, 1932)
Happy Birthday, Jose Ortiz! Another year older and still sketching circles around the rest of us. From your gritty brilliance in "Hombre" to the hauntingly vivid panels of "The Thousand Faces of Jack the Ripper," you've proven that ink runs through your veins—though we suspect coffee might be a close second.Your collaborations with Antonio Segura have become legendary; together you two are like Batman and Robin—but cooler, edgier, and far better at shading. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've given readers worldwide—and may your pencils stay sharp enough to keep villains trembling!
