JUAN BARRANCO is a fake name fo OSCAR JIMENEZ !!!! Juan Barranco is a Spanish artist who recently pencilled an issue of "GI Joe" and is now working with Axel Alonso at Marvel. He pencilled "Squadron Supreme" #6, soon to be published, and has other projects in the works.
All well and good, except he doesn't actually exist. Juan's real name is Oscar Jimenez Garrido, who as "Oscar Jiminez" worked for both Marvel and DC a few years ago. He built up problems with deadlines and found himself in conflict with a number of editors before discovering that work dried up.
So he decided to turn over a new leaf, meet deadlines and become more accommodating. And also change his name in order to get work again, using an agent so he wouldn't have any direct contact.
Is that the sound of a number of other creators rushing to their deed poll office?

Earlier today, the column reported than new Marvel artist Juan Barranco was a pseudonym for Oscar Jimenez Garrido. It appears that this is totally and utterly false. Looks like this column has been thoroughly pwned, punked, snacked, or whatever the cool kids are saying these days by an ingenious misrepresentation, which was then corroborated by other sources. Arses.
Apologies to all. Especially Juan and Oscar.
My thanks to Carlos Fraille for his assistance in this matter. Source : Update from LYTG
