Daniel Acuña is a Spanish comic book artist. In college, Acuña studied in painting and graduated with a degree in Fine Arts. He cites his early influences as Jack Kirby, the JohnRomitas, Will Eisner, Simon Bisley, Kevin Nowlan, Hal Foster, and his favorite, Richard Corben, along with fine artists such as Edward Hopper, Alfons Mucha, and Drew Struzan. His first published work was a 22-page project, Claus & Simon in Hollywood, with fellow artist Santi Arcas, which was bought by Spanish publisher La Cupula when Acuña was 22. This work was followed by Claus & Simon: Freakshow, and Claus & Simon: Disaster Box. The "Claus & Simon" series is about the adventures of two men, one a clown, and the other pained like a dinosaur. The stories were reprinted by French publisher Éditions Albin Michel and popular American magazine Heavy Metal (under the title Claus & Simon: Kings of Escape). Acuña's first work in the American comics industry was for Marvel Comics, on a miniseries for Axel Alonso that was never completed or published. DC Comics editor Eddie Berganza later hired him to paint pictures of Ravager and Blackfire for Teen Titans/Outsiders Secret Files. This work got Acuña noticed by Mark Chiarello, who suggested him to editors Mike Carlin and Joan Hilty as a cover artist for the Justice League of America and Outsiders series. Acuña is currently based out of Águilas, Spain, and has recently been announced to be the new regular artist for X-Men: Legacy. (Check out more about him at comicbookdb.com.)

Nació en Buenos Aires en 1928 y dibuja profesionalmente desde 1953, cuando ingresó a la editorial Columba. Poco más tarde pasó a la editorial Abril, donde labra una reputación como dibujante de aventuras y conoce al guionista Héctor Oesterheld, con quien realiza Uma-Uma y Bull Rocket. En 1957, Oesterheld se decide a fundar su propia editorial y convoca a Solano López a publicar en sus revistas Hora Cero y Frontera. Allí, la dupla da vida a Rolo el Marciano Adoptivo, Amapola Negra, Joe Zonda, Rul de la Luna y al más glorioso personaje de la historieta argentina: El Eternauta. Pero al término de esta saga, Solano comienza a colaborar con la editorial inglesa Fleetway y su volúmen de producción le impide seguir publicando en las revistas nacionales, e incluso se radica en Europa entre 1 963 y 1968. A su regreso, vuelve a publicar en Columba y en 1976, acepta la propuesta de Ediciones Record para reunirse con Oesterheld y crear una segunda parte de El Eternauta. Ese mismo año inicia junto a Ricardo Barreiro la saga de Slot Barr, pero el clima político -enrarecido por la sangrienta lucha entre la guerrilla de izquierda y la dictadura militar- fuerza a Solano a emigrar a España. Allí termina Slot Barr y crea junto a su hijo Gabriel la saga de Ana y las Historias Tristes. Posteriormente, junto a Carlos Sampayo, da vida a Evaristo, un gran policial ambientado en la Buenos Aires de los '50. En 1984, Solano se traslada a Río de Janeiro, desde donde inicia una larga serie de colaboraciones con editoriales de los EEUU (Dark Horse, Fantagraphics, etc.) y continúa su producción junto a Barreiro. De este período datan Ministerio, El Instituto y El Televisor, entre otras. De regreso a Buenos Aires desde 1995, Solano López continúa trabajando para los EEUU, incursiona en el género erótico con enorme éxito en toda Europa y retorna, a partir de 1997, la saga del inolvidable Eternauta. Actualmente publica una plancha semanal de su más reciente creación, Los Internautas, en el Suplemento Informática del diario Clarín (que finalizó recientemente). El 12 de agosto de 2001, muere a los 83 años a causa de un ACV.

Mike Mignola was born September 16, 1960 in Berkeley, California and grew up in nearby Oakland. His fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age (he doesn't remember why) and reading Dracula at age 13 introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore from which he has never recovered. In 1982, hoping to find a way to draw monsters for a living, he moved to New York City and began working for Marvel Comics, first as a (very terrible) inker and then as an artist on comics like Rocket Raccoon, Alpha Flight and The Hulk. By the late 80s he had begun to develop his signature style (thin lines, clunky shapes and lots of black) and moved onto higher profile commercial projects like Cosmic Odyssey (1988) and Gotham by Gaslight (1989) for DC Comics, and the not-so-commercial Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser (1990) for Marvel. In 1992, he drew the comic book adaptation of the film Bram Stoker's Dracula for Topps Comics. In 1993, Mike moved to Dark Horse comics and created Hellboy, a half-demon occult detective who may or may not be the Beast of the Apocalypse. While the first story line (Seed of Destruction, 1994) was co-written by John Byrne, Mike has continued writing the series himself. There are, at this moment, 13 Hellboy graphic novel collections (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien and Witchfinder), three anthologies of prose stories, several novels, two animated films and two live-action films staring Ron Perlman. Hellboy has earned numerous comic industry awards and is published in a great many countries. Mike also created the award-winning comic book The Amazing Screw-on Head and has co-written two novels (Baltimore, or, the Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire and Joe Golem and the Drowning City) with best-selling author Christopher Golden. Mike worked (very briefly) with Francis Ford Coppola on his film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), was a production designer on the Disney film Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) and was visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004) and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). He lives somewhere in Southern California with his wife, daughter, a lot of books and a cat.
