Rafael Cortiella (1931–2019) was a prominent illustrator, draftsman, painter, and advertising and film poster artist. His illustrations for the covers of romance, western, horror, science fiction, crime, and adventure novels were published in countries such as Spain, England, Germany, and France, and virtually all over the world. His covers are true works of art, and he is considered one of Spain’s greatest and most prolific cover artists, with international recognition. As a painter, he exhibited in several art galleries. He also illustrated toy boxes, such as those for the well-known Madelman, and in the 1980s, he created posters and covers for films distributed on video. For nearly 15 years, he ran a drawing and painting workshop-school.
