Antonio Segura (born June 13, 1947 in Valencia) is a Spanish comics writer.

Biography

Antonio Segura's earliest work appeared in the early 80s after meeting the experienced artists José Ortiz, Luis Bermejo and Leopold Sanchez who were looking for an inexperienced scriptwriter, untainted by the industry.cite web | last =Fernandez | first =Norman| title = REPORTAJES: Antonio Segura | publisher =tebeosfera/Comiqueando Press | date =2001 | url =http://www.tebeosfera.com/Documento/Recorte/Comiqueando/Segura.htmes_icon] Taking this opportunity, he wrote a series for each of them "Hombre", "Orka" and "Bogey", respectively. With some effort, these became published, and joined in the wave of emerging Spanish adult comics that bloomed in the post-Franco era. "Hombre" began a successful run in the magazine "Cimoc", and Segura started collaborating with Jordi Bernet, creating the amazone fantasy series "Sarvan", also appearing in "Cimoc".

In 1983, Segura and a collective of artists including Bernet, Ortiz, Sánchez and Manfred Sommer, made an attempt to establish a monthly comics periodical, on the premise of artists' freedom. It was named "Metropol" and bore the tag "Papeles falaces urbanos y criminales" ("Deceptive, Urban and Criminal Characters/Pages"). Several of Segura's series were featured, among them "Morgan" with Ortiz, and "Kraken" with Bernet. The latter was staged in a dystopic city, also named "Metropol", above the sewers where the series' monster, the "Kraken", dwelled. Unfortunately, the magazine proved short-lived, publishing only 12 issues.

Later, Segura continued his prolific partnership with José Ortiz, resulting in a large body of work, including the acclaimed "Las Mil Caras de Jack el Destripador" ("The Thousand Faces of Jack the Ripper"), and the humorous sci-fi series "Burton & Cyb". In the early 90s, he started the series "Eva Medusa" with Ana Miralles, a work which won two Haxtur Awards. In the most recent years, Segura has worked for the Italian comics market, creating new stories for the character "Tex Willer".
