I know. In most Spanish speaking countries, it would probably be under G. In English speaking countries, though, he's known as Marquez.

And plenty of other languages. My Farsi's teacher found funny the "Centro cultural García Márquez" in Bogotá. He tagged it "markaze markez".
He's known simply as Márquez cause that's a more unique surname than García, but he would still be indexed under G.

It would definitely be under G in any Spanish-speaking country.
