About the Author
Raúl Treviño is an independent comic book author who uses sequential imagery to tell stories and to express himself as an artist. Raúl has had very diverse styles throughout his career, and he has always protected the freedom to do what most interests him.
His characters are imbued with kawaii features that belie bad-ass attitudes, formed with gestural lines that convey movement and awaken emotions. Adventure, mystery, and drama are pillars in his stories. With clear, strong, and mostly minimalist graphics, Raul mixes European art elements and traditional manga aesthetics.
WHERE IS HE BASED?
He born in Mexico, and currently living in Chiba, Japan.
