Daniel Torres, various panels from his comic Opium, serialised throughout 1982 in Cairo magazine.
You might not have recognised that this was Torres―handily the most well-known member of the Valencian school of comics that found it's home in the magazine Cairo in the '80s―at first glance, for he was still aping Miguel Calatayud and had yet to properly assimilate the E.P. Jacobs and Milton Caniff influences into his drawing. The Torres of Rocco Vargas and the rest of his later oeuvre feel increasingly sterile to me. After the first few Vargas albums the influence of Calatayud becomes increasingly fainter in favour of classical, starchier influences. It's similar to the career trajectory of one Ted Benoit, who's work's quality similarly deteriorated (to my eyes) when E.P. Jacobs seemingly became the influence rather than just one piece of the puzzle. I'm of the opinion that E.P. Jacobs (like Caniff in Anglophone comics) has had a largely deleterious effect on the development and maturation of European comics ― but that's a screed for another day.

Two two-page comics from 1986 by the Spanish cartoonist OPS. The first "Lecheria Carbonería" ('Dairy Coal') is from Madriz 29, the second "Telegrama" is from Madriz 25.
OPS (real name Andrés Rábago García) was one of the most experienced cartoonists to be published within Madriz's pages (he started making comics in and around 1970) and is one of the few still active today. He's published under quite a few pseudonyms, including "El Roto" (reserved for his political cartooning), "Rábago," "Jonás," "Ubú" and "R."
