Eduardo Risso was born in
1959 in Leones, Argentina, and began his career in 1981 doing illustrations for
the newspaper La Nacion and various magazines. Risso collaborated with writer Brian

mini-series. Risso also continues to work with writer Carlos Trillo. Before
going exclusive with DC Comics, Risso provided artwork for an issue of Marvel's Tangled
Web, written by Greg Rucka. Risso also drew short stories on Flinch, Heart
Throbs, Weird Western Tales, Batman: Gotham Knights, Transmetropolitan
and Winter's Edge, plus pin-ups on Adventures of Superman and Green
Lantern. Risso won an Eisner Award in 2001 for Best Serialized Story, two Harvey
Awards in 2002 for Best Artist and Best Series, two Eisner Awards in 2002 for
Best Penciller/Inker and Best Continuing Series and the Yellow Kid Award for
