    Alberto Breccia (April 15, 1919 – November 10, 1993) was an Uruguayan-born Argentine artist and cartoonist. His son Enrique Breccia and daughter Patricia Breccia are also comic book artists.

    Comic book author Frank Miller considers Breccia as one of his personal mentors,[1] even declaring that (regarding modernity in comics): "it all started with Breccia".[2]
