Rafa Garres is a Spanish comic-book artist and colorist, best known for his work on the Western series *Jonah Hex*. Born Rafael Garrés Cervantes in Spain, he entered the industry in the mid-2000s, contributing to American comics through DC Comics and other publishers. His clean, expressive linework and atmospheric coloring brought a gritty, cinematic quality to the Old West, making him a natural fit for *Jonah Hex* and its related miniseries, including *Jonah Hex: Bullets Don't Lie* and *Jonah Hex: Luck Runs Out*. He also worked on the horror-tinged *Road Rage: Duel* and the German series *Die Füchsin*, as well as the anthology *Amazing Fantasy*. Garres often handled both pencils and inks, and occasionally colors, collaborating with writers like Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti. His credited output spans roughly a decade, from 2006 to 2012, with a focused but impactful body of work. While he never achieved widespread fame, his contributions to the *Jonah Hex* franchise are valued by fans of the character. Details of his later life remain private, and he has not received major industry awards.
