Daniel Torres (born 20 August 1958) is a Spanish cartoonist, known for several series, including the science-fiction series Rocco Vargas, about a writer in a retrofuturistic world and Tom, a series for children about a friendly dinosaur.
Son of a rural doctor, Daniel Torres frequently changed residence during his childhood. In 1975, he began architecture studies at the University of Valencia, although he would finally end up replacing them with those of Fine Arts. At the same time, he began collaborating with "The Gat Pelat" through Miguel Calatayud.[1]
In 1980, already installed in Barcelona, he began his professional career in the magazine "El Víbora" with Murder at 64 Images Per Second, creating the character Claudio Cueco while still at university.[2]
