Eduardo Risso

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduardo Risso (born in 1959) is an Argentine comic book artist. He is best known for his work with writer Brian Azzarello on the Vertigo title 100 Bullets. His first collaboration with Azzarello was on Johnny Double, and he went on to work with him on Batman.

Risso was born in Leones in |Córdoba Province, and he started as a cartoonist drawing his first collaborations for the morning paper La Nacion and the magazines Erotiocon and Satiricon, all of which were published in Buenos Aires.

In 1981, Risso began his professional career for Columba editions. In 1986, he worked for Eura Editoriale of Rome, Italy, and in 1987 he drew Parque Chas, scripted by Ricardo Barreiro. The series was first published by Fierro, a milestone in Argentina's comic history, and then by Totem of Spain, the Italian Comic Art and the complete series as a comic book in France, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Holland and the United States. In 1988, he drew Cain, again scripted by Barreiro.

Later that same year, Risso did Fulu, scripted by Carlos Trillo, published in Italy, France, Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands, and in Argentina in the Puertitas magazine. The Trillo-Risso duo have also created Simon: An American Tale , published in Italy and France, Borderline, published in Italy and Chicanos, published in Italy and France.

Risso has won four Eisner Awards for his work on 100 Bullets: In 2001, for the Best Serialized Story (with Brian Azzarello); twice, in 2002 and 2004, for the Best Continuing Series (with Azzarello); and in 2002 for Best Artist.
