Edvin Biuković

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edvin Biuković (1969 – December 5, 1999) was a Croatian comics artist. He made his debut in 1987 with the strip Dokaz. He spent several more years working on comic projects in Croatia.

His big break came in 1993 when Dark Horse published Devils and Deaths, his collaboration with writer Darko Macan, in Grendel Tales. The pair were subsequently asked back to do a four-issue sequel, Devil's Choices. He was awarded the Russ Manning Best Newcomer Award in 1995.

Prior to his untimely death in December 1999, he illustrated the Peter Milligan revival of Len Wein's creation Human Target, giving strength to the project which has not since been equalled.

He died suddenly of a brain tumor in his hometown Zagreb, a short two weeks after it was initially diagnosed. He was only thirty years old.

He has influenced people with his comics, including Gerard Way, and his series entitled 'The Umbrella Academy'.^{[citation needed]}
