from Zona 84 No. 39, 1987
Jesus Gracia Sanchez was a Spanish artist who contributed a number of short comics to the Spanish magazine Zona 84 during the mid-80s under the pseudonym 'Jesus Gracia'.
I was not able to find much information about Gracia Sanchez on the internet, but he apparently did not do much illustrative work after his stint in Zona 84.
The few comics he did provide to Zona 84 are striking in their use of an ornate, meticulous line art approach that calls to mind a mixture of the styles of the great Irish illustrator Harry Clarke (1889 - 1931); the greater Art Deco movement; and even classical Greek art.
Posted below is 'Bestiary: Riddles', from a 1987 issue of Zona 84.
