Biography
Jesse Santos was born in Teresa, Rizal, the Philippines, and began drawing professionally at the age of 14. One of his artistic influences was Francisco Coching.[2] His other influences include Hal Foster, Burne Hogarth, Jack Kirby, Alex Raymond, and Tony Velasquez.[3] Santos began his career in the Komiks industry by drawing the "Kidlat" feature in Halakhak Komiks in 1946.[1] He moved to the United States in 1969 and began working for Western Publishing's line of Gold Key Comics after a chance meeting with editors Chase Craig and Del Connell.[4] His earliest work in the U.S. is inking Jack Sparling's penciled artwork in The Microbots #1 (Dec. 1971).[5] He became the artist on the Brothers of the Spear series[6] in 1972 and worked with writer Gaylord DuBois on the first 12 issues.[5] That same year, Santos and writer Donald F. Glut co-created Dagar the Invincible[7] and Tragg and the Sky Gods.[8] They also collaborated on The Occult Files of Dr. Spektor.[9] Santos received an offer from Marvel Comics to work on their Conan the Barbarian series, but turned it down.[10] In the 1980s, Santos left the comics industry and became involved in advertising[2] and animation design. He worked on such series as Bionic Six, Blackstar, Dino-Riders, Jem, and Tiny Toon Adventures.[4] After retiring in 1998,[11] Santos often performed as a lounge singer and self-produced an album of standard love ballads.[12]
