Travis Charest (February 2, 1969, Leduc, Alberta) is a Canadian comic book artist, penciller and painter, best known as the person who in 1994 took over from Jim Lee during his self-described sabbatical from drawing his hit series WildC.A.T.s. Up to that point, Charest was known primarily for his work on various DC Comics and Wildstorm Comics assignments like Darkstars and a WildC.A.T.s Special, and as a cover artist for DC Comics on such titles as The Outsiders and Batman.
He received the WildC.A.T.s assignment shortly after he joined Lee's Homage Studios, a facility in La Jolla, California where many of the artists working for Lee's Wildstorm studio work side by side.
Charest's run on WildC.A.T.s, initially with writer James Dale Robinson, and later with Alan Moore, saw his art evolve from being heavily influenced by the work of Lee, characterized by emphasized anatomy and cross-hatching, to a more sophisticated and distinct style emphasizing contours and solid areas of white and shadow. Currently, his style is more influenced by poster art from the 1920s and the work of painterly and realistic artists such as Moebius and Frank Frazetta, than by modern comic book action storytelling. With such a distinctive style, Charest easily became one of the most sought after artists.
Charest then went on take the assignment as regular penciller on the second WildC.A.T.s ongoing series, over scripts by his WildC.A.T.s/X-Men collaborator Scott Lobdell. However, it quickly became evident that Charest could not keep up with the pace of producing a regular comic, due to his attention to detail and consequently slow pace. He was replaced on the title by Sean Phillips and later left Wildstorm and Homage for French bande dessinee publisher Humanoïdes Associés.
Living in Paris, Charest has all that time painting a project for that publisher, a Metabarons graphic novel, starting in April 2000. In 2007 Travis has finally left the project after producing merely 30 pages done in 6 years, [citation needed] to be completed by Serbian artist Zoran Janjetov who previously worked in the same Alexandro Jodorowsky "Incal" universe on "John Defaul" and "Technopriests".
Charest is now a resident in the United States and working for Marvel Comics, initially working on David Morell's Captain America mini-series. He has also been running a strip Spacegirl on his MSN group, [1] which he is looking into eventually being collected into a printed volume. * [2]

Vasilis Lolos hails from Athens, Greece where the majority of his work has been published. Instead of translating his older work, he decided to just make new ones in English. He takes his kafe with cream, sugar, and cigarettes. This is very serious business. He is also disappointed with the lack of Nescafe in America.
What is it with you Americans and your drip coffee?! Oh, the unimaginable horror of it ALL!

After months of hospitalization and many futile attempts at seeking out professional help in his early teens, Alex finally overcame his battle with severe depression and anxiety through his own form of therapy: art. His love for drawing and painting spawned from his fascination with the grotesque images of Garbage Pail Kids and Tales from the Crypt comics. For years Alex used sketch drawing and graffiti as an emotional outlet. He started photocopying collections of his sketches and scattering them around the Bay Area. He began placing his homemade books between the pages of tattoo and porn magazines, in clinic waiting rooms, and in public bathrooms. With the help of street canvas and Kinkos, Alex was able to overcome his emotional setbacks and move forward in the world of artistic expression.
In 1999 Alex was convinced by other artists to reprint his books professionally. He began working long shifts at a local toy store to finance this reprinting, and later that year My Book of Colors was released.
Since the release Alex has devoted every minute of his life to creating an entire universe of characters and monsters. In the past five years he has continued to release books like The Secrets of Hollywood and the popular Bunnywith series. The comics have spawned an entire plush line, calendars, and art exhibitions.
Alex Pardee’s devotion to his art has gained the attention of Warner Bros., Reprise Records, Upper Playground, Hurley International, RIDE snowboards, DefJux, and more. In 2004 he was tapped by the gold-selling rock group The Used to design the artwork for their album, In Love and Death. Alex’s designs were not only applied to record, but also the band’s merchandise, Website, marketing campaign, and the music video for the single “All That I’ve Got.” In 2007, he continued to expand his universe with The Used by creating CHADAM and an entire family of characters used a visual representation of The Used’s new music. Chadam has become an online phenomenon, where tons of fans have created movies, drawings, sculptures and photos, all in order to expand the universe of Chadam.
In addition to demeaning celebrities, Alex continues to use his art as a means of self-medication, creating emotionally charged images on canvases, sketchbooks, and any other surfaces he can cover with his bizarre characters. From Oficial Bio at Eyesuckink.com

El Cazador de Aventuras (the hunter of adventures) was an Argentine comic that was published from 1992 to 2001. It is famous for initiating a new age of adult comics in Argentina. It was written and drawn by Ariel Olivetti,Jorge Lucas, Mauro Cascioli and Claudio Ramirez. The comic had two editions.
Fictional Character Biography
A possible origin of the character was revealed in a flashback: His grandfather had been a soldier in Vlad Tepes's service (from whom he had learned the many ways of torture). His father had been a conquistador who came to America and sired him with a native girl whose tribe had cannibalistic tendencies. Finally, the man who'd come to be known as El Cazador de Aventuras became a wanted criminal in America during the times of the Spanish conquest. He formed a band of outlaws and massacred many native villages thus obtaining food. One of his favorite pastimes was to torture natives branding them with red hot irons on their foreheads. The brand was a Christian cross. He claimed to be doing God's work that way. One of the natives claimed he knew where a great mountain of precious metal was and promised to take them in exchange for his life. Believing it to be the famous legend of El Dorado, Cazador and his men followed their guide only to fall into a trap. Cazador was captured and branded with his own symbol inverted on the forehead. Demons were introduced in his body and he became essentially immortal. After his ordeal, he went insane, killed his own men and devoured them.
Almost 500 years later, he lives in an abandoned church, uses the inverted cross as his symbol, and has become an unstoppable serial killer. Despite this, he had some friends like the bizarre Italian-American mobster called Tío Pastafrola.
Publication History
Volume one (1992-1999)
The first issue of Cazador appeared in October of 1992. The star of the title is a big, dumb, murderous, womanizing brute. A homage/parody of DC Comics's character Lobo and Simon Bisley, one of the main artists on Lobo. The stories contained high levels of dark and gross humor focused on parodizing the socio-political environment in Argentina and many elements and personalities of pop-culture (zombies, Quake videogame, Sailor Moon, Diego Maradona, President Menem, Don King, Mike Tyson, etc.) while telling adventures with extreme levels of violence and gore. The first seven issues were in black and white, but in 1995 the first color issues appeared. The comic ceased publication because of a great debt that the authors owed to the publisher.
Volume two (2000-2001)
The comic returned in November of 2000 drawn by Mauro Cascioli. There were no great changes, and aside from more a detailed drawing style and a slightly larger format. The comic kept the same tone as the past edition. The devaluation of the peso resulting from the Argentine economic crisis brought about the end of the second edition the comic. The final issue appeared on December 22 2001.
