Louis Cazeneuve

Louis Cazeneuve was an Argentine-born American comic book artist, best known for co-creating Marvel’s Red Raven and for his extensive work during the Golden Age of Comics. He was born Luis Cazeneuve on August 18, 1908, in Argentina, and died in August 1977. After moving to the United States, he entered the industry in the early 1940s, quickly becoming a reliable hand for both Marvel (then Timely Comics) and DC (then National Periodical Publications). His signature style—clean, energetic, and suited to adventure strips—appeared across numerous titles, including *Weird Comics*, *Whiz Comics*, *Boy Commandos*, *The Eagle*, *More Fun Comics*, and *Wonderworld Comics*. He was a key artist on DC’s Aquaman, Shining Knight, and the Boy Commandos, often working alongside writers and editors like Mort Weisinger. His most notable co-creation, Red Raven, debuted in 1940. Cazeneuve’s brother, Arthur, also worked as a Golden Age artist and later became an illustrator for *Time* magazine’s overseas edition. Louis Cazeneuve’s output slowed after the 1940s, but his contributions to early superhero and adventure comics remain a foundation of the medium. He is credited on 45 issues spanning 1940 to 2017, a testament to his enduring influence.
