Carlos Sanchez Ezquerra, born November 1947 in Zaragoza, Spain, is a comics artist who works mainly in British comics and currently lives in Andorra. He is best known as the co-creator of Judge Dredd.
In the 1970s he worked for Battle Picture Weekly, drawing such strips as Rat Pack, Major Eazy and El Mestizo.
During the development of 2000 AD he created the visual design for writer John Wagner's character Judge Dredd, but left before the comic was published in 1977. He and Wagner created another character, Strontium Dog, for Starlord in 1978; the strip transferred to 2000 AD when Starlord folded. Other 2000 AD strips he drew included Fiends of the Eastern Front and adaptations of Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat novels. He later returned to Judge Dredd and drew some of his most memorable adventures. He still draws Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog from time to time.
He has collaborated with writer Garth Ennis on Bloody Mary, Adventures in the Rifle Brigade, War Story and a 2 part Preacher special The Good Old Boys for DC Comics, and Just a Pilgrim for Black Bull Entertainment.Template:Comics-creator-stub
