enrique breccia was born in buenos aires (argentina) in 1945, son of alberto breccia: talent runs thick in the family, and both of enrique's sisters -patricia and cristina- are also accomplished comic artists.  

he starts working professionally in the '60s by illustrating novels in argentina, but his first important work is "la vida del che", on which he collaborates with his father and with the late writer hector german oesterheld: the original artwork for this story will be burned a little later because of the political situation in the country, then under dictatorship, and -more tragically- oesterheld will become, with his whole family, a desaparecido when both him and his whole family "disappeared" at the hand of the government.

enrique then starts in 1972 a eight year collaboration (under a pseudonym) with british publisher fleetway on the series "spy 13". during this tenure he also produces "la leyenda de thyl ulenspiegel", a spatter of short stories and what will become his most famous character, "alvar mayor".

the '80s and '90s see him work on a number of other stories like "el cazador del tiempo", "el peregrino de las estrellas", "el sueñero" and many others which, in part, will be collected in the volume "historias cortas" by publisher doedytores.

his debut in north-american comics happens on the pages of "x-force" for marvel in 2000, then followed by a cover for "uncanny x-men", a "legion worlds" and a "batman: gotham knights" story for dc comics. editor karen berger then assigned him a painted "lovecraft" graphic novel and, when this was done, the reins of the current "swamp thing" incarnation.
