Author Biography

Rodney Barnes is the award-winning writer/producer of HBO's Showtime, Hulu's Wu-Tang: An American Saga, Marvel's Runaways, Starz's American Gods, and a host of other television programs and films. He has also authored graphic novels for Lion Forge's Quincredible and Star Wars - Lando: Double or Nothing, as well as Falcon for Marvel Comics. He is now writing Killadelphia for Image Comics. Rodney resides in Los Angeles.

Luis Nuñez de Castro Torres - Luis NCT for short - grew up in Valencia, Spain, reading comics of all kinds on the Mediterranean beachfront. He made comics and fanzines in high school, eventually studying fine arts before becoming a freelance artist. He has worked as a concept designer for video games and film, but his passion will always be comic books.

His first long-form comic book project was Sleepers, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi tale about a world ruined by giant robots, an open homage to his love of the genre. This gave way to his second long-form solo project, WAHCOMMO, and his love for high-fantasy.

His most prominent work in the United States has been as a colorist with artist Jason Shawn Alexander on the Image Comics series Empty Zone, the Vertigo series Frostbite, and a three-issue run on Spawn. He is currently coloring the critically acclaimed Image Comics series Killadelphia. He just published the sequel to WAHCOMMO, Kaya.
