I'm asking in case anyone can find any updates on Luis Dominguez, born in 1923.

"Luis Angel Dominguez is an Argentine artist, who has worked a lot for American
horror and mystery comic books in the 1960s and 1970s. He has made comics in his native country since the 1940s. He has cooperated with the writer Hector German Oesterheld on
'Scout River' in 1956. He also worked on comics like Patoruzito and Pancho Lopez. He did his first US works in the early 1960s, contributing to 'The Wonders of Aladdin' (Dell) and 'The World Around Us' (Gilberton).

"Between 1963 and 1970 has was affiliated with the Union Studio in Latin America. He did back-up features for Charlton and drew for many of the company's 1960s war and western titles, such as 'Cheyenne Kid', 'Fightin' Marines', 'Billy the Kid' and '
Outlaws of the West'. From 1967 through the late 1970s, he did a lot of work for Gold Key titles like 'Ripley's Believe it or Not', 'Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery', 'Grimm's Ghost Stories', 'The Twilight Zone' and 'UFO Flying Saucers'. Then in the 1970s,
he also began working for DC, illustrating for 'House of Mystery', 'House of Secrets', 'The Witching Hour' and 'Jonah Hex'. He additionally contributed to the horror publications of Skywald and Warren."


And, from the Senior Strippers' cartoonist page, in 2019 (it's about cartoonists over 90):

"Missing from last year’s list is Luis Dominguez....I was informed that Luis Dominguez had Alziemer’s about a dozen years ago and it is unlikely he continues on."


But...even though Alzheimer's patients typically live fewer than ten years, I suspect he's alive. Why? Because it's kind of hard to imagine that anyone who grew up in South America and had that type of success in the U.S. would have died unnoticed by the
Spanish readers! (Believe me, I've used quite a few Spanish keywords in my searches, such as "dibujante," "fallece," "murio"...you get the idea.) Not to mention that he was still drawing in 2003, at age 80, so his work isn't that "old."

So, can anyone find out his status, or contact a horror comics fan from a Spanish-speaking country? Thanks.
