Hi everyone!

My name is Joe Prado, and I’m an artist/agent(Art&Comics International) from Brazil.

Seeing that so many of my friends are here, I decided to join!

Here you can check my work:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/pradocomics

At age of 4 I saw a Batman comic book that Dick Sprang did, and I fell in love with the comics! After that, my grampa, who was a great comics collector and fan, introduced me to the classics like Flash Gordon, Prince Valiant, Jungle Jim, Dick Tracy, X-9, The Spirit, Rip Kirby, Terry & The Pirates and many other classic comics. So, that was when I decided to become a comic-book artist! =)

Later, when I went to college I got in touch with the techniques of perspective, illustration and Art History. This contributed a LOT to my art, and to my life.

After that, I did about 250 pages of samples for tons of US publishers, such as Marvel, DC, Chaos!, Dark Horse, Crossgen, Lightning, Devils Due and many others.

Then 2 years ago my good friend, Eddie Berganza asked me if I wanted to help Ivan Reis on an issue of Action Comics… due to our stylistic similarities Eddie said that I would be perfect to fill-in for Ivan. Before than that I did some small gigs, but for me Action Comics was my real debut on super-heroes comics… that are my real passion.

And that’s how all this started. It took me 14 years to break in the US market. But hey! I’m not a quitter, so… =)

Some titles and covers that I did:
- Thundercats: Dogs of War (Thanks to Alex Sinclair! He was the editor!);
- JLA to Z;
- Dragonlance: Legend of Huma;
- Action Comics#819;
- Teen Titans & Legion of Superheroes;
- Action Comics#825;
- Birds of Prey#76;
- Rann/Thanagar War#4-6;
- Superman – Secret Files;
- Superman# 222;
- Rann/Thanagar War Special;
- Birds of Prey#95;
- DC/UpperDeck Cards;
- The Phantom#12, 14 & 15 covers;
- 52;
- Red Sonja covers;
- Battlestar Galactica covers

Besides my passion for comics, I have 2 more in my life... Tatiana, my beloved and beautiful wife, and Gabriela, my baby-daughter (ok, she´s 5 years old now, not a baby anymore, but to me she´ll always be my "baby-daughter" - lol)... and both of them love comic books!

Ah! And I can’t forget about our dogs – Thor and Pandora! They are a blast!

Well, that’s it… FOR NOW!!!

Hey,
My comic BLEED has been picked up to compete to become an ongoing series on Zudacomics.com and the competition is running now until the end of December!

You can see it at www.zudacomics.com/node/945


It's very cutthroat and takes aloooot of votes to win so if you like this comic and you like my artwork I would be MORE than THANKFUL if you took the few minutes to sign in, vote, rate it, and add it to your favourites!

SOME INFO

Zudacomics.com was created by DC Comics to find new creator-owned ongoing series by letting readers chose from 10 potentials a month.
The series with the most VOTES, highest RATING, most FAVOURITES, and most PAGE VIEWS is declared the winner at the end of each month.
That comic then becomes an ongoing series and is published on Zudacomics.com and in print.

HOW YOU CAN HELP!
1. The best way is by VOTING for it! All you gotta do is quickly register and sign in.

2. You can also make it one of your FAVORITES or give it a high RATING. Even VIEWING and COMMENTING helps determine which comic is ultimately number one!

3. You can even download a banner from the Support Page to post on your web page. Nothing helps like bringing in more people to favorite, rate, comment and especially VOTE!

Thanks so much in advance for any help and support you can throw my way! I appreciate it more than I can say. And please let me know if you vote, so I know! :)

Sincerely,
Adam

The Wraith #1, the 44-page extravaganza comic book, which first premiered back in April this year, is newly available from our new printer, and the vast improvement in quality is there for all to see. Here's the promotional blurb for the issue. I urge everyone here interested in fine, independent comics, to give this one a go.

Oi, Joe! Tudo certo? Uma dúvida: O Art&Comics agencia hqs autorais? Estou com uma história bacana em produção, mas com um personagem meu. Coloquei um preview, ainda sem texto, nessa galeria:
http://www.comicspace.com/salimena/comics.php?acti
on=gallery&comic_id=14403
É num estilo meio Goon, ou Hellyboy, misturado com Asterix. Se tiver tempo, dá um pulo lá, ok?

Abração
