Eduardo Barreto Passes Away at Age 57

He also worked on the one shot Lex Luthor: The Unauthorized Biography, which could be argued as his best work. Originally born in Uruguay he transitioned to American comic books in the early 80’s.  His prominent list is majorly through DC but has worked elsewhere, most recently a Captain Action Special with Beau Smith.

In 2010 Eduardo Barreto was diagnosed with Meningitis, sometimes referred to as Spinal Meningitis, which is an inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord. It is believed that this disease is what caused his eventual death.

I might not know much about who he was, but looking at his credits has piqued my interest. I fear that when I am done seeing all that he has accomplished, I am going to be filled with slight regret and sorrow that I didn’t fully appreciate him sooner.
