Alfredo Alcala was a Filipino comic book artist known for his illustration in "Alcala Komix Magazine" and also his 1963 creation "Voltar", which led him to more international popularity. In 1971 Alcala began to work for both DC and Marvel Comics on horror and fantasy titles. He was one of the artists on the licensed movie tie-in series Planet of the Apes. In the early 1980s he penciled the Star Wars newspaper strip and inked comic books such as Conan the Barbarian over John Buscema's pencils and inked Don Newton's pencil artwork in Batman.
Emerging from the Filipino comic art scene of the Bronze Age, Gonzales worked at DC and Archie Comics on series such as Arak, Son of Thunder and All Star Squadron before leaving comics to work as a storyboard artist for TV cartoons.
