Career
Adrian Gonzales began his career as a comic book artist in the 1960s working for such Philippine comics publications as Hiwaga Komiks and Tagalog Klasiks.[1][2] He made his debut in the US comics market with the story "The Young Wolves" in Our Army at War #252 (Dec. 1972) published by DC Comics.[3] He only did sporadic work for US publishers until 1981 when he became the penciler on the All-Star Squadron series. Editor Len Wein hired Gonzales as a replacement for the previous artist Rich Buckler and notified the title's creator/writer Roy Thomas with a note stating "You're going to like Adrian Gonzales".[4] He drew the series for 13 issues[3] which included a crossover with the Justice League of America[5][6] and then became the artist on the Arak, Son of Thunder title.[4] DC Comics produced several Superman stories for the German comics market in the early 1980s[7] and Gonzales drew one of them.[8][9] A New Teen Titans drug awareness comic book sponsored by IBM and drawn by Gonzales was published in cooperation with The President's Drug Awareness Campaign in 1984.[10][11] That same year, he penciled the Super Powers limited series which tied-in with the Kenner Products toyline of the same name.[12] After a brief stint working on the Sgt. Rock series,[3] Gonzales left the comics industry in 1985 and became a storyboard artist for several animation studios including Hanna-Barbera and Ruby-Spears.[1]
