Edvin Biuković

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 death, he illustrated Peter Milligan's 1999 revival of Len Wein's creation, Human Target.[1]

In December 1999, 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 many people, including singer for My Chemical Romance and comic book writer Gerard Way, whose series is entitled 'The Umbrella Academy'.
