Alex Nino

ALEX NINO began his comic strip career in 1965 and was to establish himself as one of the pre-eminent comic book artists in the Philippines, where he had been born.

From 1971 on American publishers wisely began hiring his talents and he produced countless pages for DC, Marvel, Warren, Heavy Metal and Dark Horse working on characters such as Black Orchid, Captain Fear, Conan, Tarzan and Vampirella as well as adapting classic novels into some astounding sequential art.

Concurrent with this period, portfolio material and the now-legendary Satan's Tears collection of his early work accorded him international acclaim.

While major animation companies such as Pixar kept Nino busy for a number of years the comic book field has not lost out completely.

Alex Nino has illustrated the three issue zombie mini series Dead Ahead, published by Image Comics, he is said to be developing the sequel to the "breathtaking comic book" God the Dyslexic Dog and has a few other things in development. To compliment this, DC began reprinting his horror material in Showcase Presents: House of Mystery from Volume 2 onwards and Auad Publishing recently brought out the visual tour de force that is The Art of Alex Nino.
