Acuña, Daniel: - Daniel got his Fine Arts degree in the University of Valencia. His first published works in Spain were three stories starring his characters Claus & Simon (
Claus & Simon en Hollywood, Feria de Monstruos, and
Cajón de Sastre) for Ediciones La Cúpula, all written by co-creator Santiago Arcas. He also did the first issue of
Anthem, written by Roy Thomas, for Dude Comics. Daniel and Santi would return to Claus & Simon with a French album,
Claus & Simon: Rois de L'Evasion, published by Albin Michel in France, and by Heavy Metal in the USA.
His first American work were two "profiles" for the Teen Titans / Outsiders Secret Files & Origins 2005 (Blackfire and Ravager), and some covers for Marvel (Captain Universe, Doc Samson...). He also did some cover work for DC (JLA, Outsiders...), before starting the Uncle Sam & the Freedom Fighters miniseries (with a prologue in the Brave New World Special), Green Lantern, and a brief stint as artist on The Flash. Moving to Marvel, he did covers for Nova, Red Hulk, and others, and worked on The Eternals, Uncanny X-Men Annual, Dark Reign: The Cabal, Young X-Men, or X-Men Legacy. Recently, he also shared artistic duties with Stuart Immonen on New Avengers #61-#62.
