CARLOS PACHECO
1961-2022

“To say that Carlos was a giant among giants is an understatement. He affected so many artists in so many ways, including myself, that his influence will be seen for a very long time to come. Not only as an artist but as a person, I had the opportunity of being close with him for years. He will be greatly missed.” — Jesus Merino

“Carlos’s great strength wasn’t just his majestic artwork, his elegant storytelling it was that he made you believe. He knew the characters he drew inside out, like they were family, and that came through in every panel he drew. He was a creative partner without peer, and an even better friend. The world is an emptier place without him, but the worlds he brought to life will always be with us.” — Kurt Busiek

“I wanted to be a Mirage pilot, a cowboy in the Far West,  a marine in Okinawa, a superhero in New York, so I realized that what I wanted to be was a comic book artist.” — Carlos Pacheco

I am sure that the rest of the Corporation and the people of San Roque will share my words, as well as the fact that two days of official mourning have been decreed. Likewise, a burning chapel is going to be set up in the Palace of the Governors so that all the people who wish to can pay homage to him…  Our sadness is only lessened by the knowledge that in life, he achieved the recognition of all around him, that he knew and appreciated it. He was grateful that the City Council put up an avenue in his name, that he was named the town’s Favourite Son and that, in his honour, there is a contest named after him.”
