Zoppi's career blossomed in the 1950s, during which his work was found the most important Argentinian magazines of the time. In 1948 he published his first works, illustrating "The Treasures of the Queen of Sheba" and "Fantomas" in the newspaper La Epoca.

After leaving "Misterix" in 1962, Zoppi drew "Futureman" and "Birdman." He also published humorous drawings, some of them signed as "Eugenio." In 1968 he created the character "Charlena."
In 1971 he worked as the Editorial Director of the comic book supplement Mac Perro, for Billiken magazine, and in the middle of the decade he began his collaboration with Editorial Record, creating works such as "Appointment with Destiny" and "Etienne and the Thirty Thousand."
