Tony De Zuñiga is a legend among American comic book aficionados and industry insiders. The characters he has drawn through the years are a veritable superhero pantheon spanning the parallel universes of DC and Marvel: Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Supergirl, Conan the Barbarian, the Incredible Hulk, the X-Men, Thor, the Punisher, Blade and Red Sonia.

He created the look and illustrated the stories of Western anti-hero Jonah Hex in collaboration with writer John Albano. He designed and drew the Black Orchid, a female superhero created by Sheldon Mayer.

Then, as the Information Age dawned and comic books lost ground to video and computer games, De Zuñiga seamlessly moved into the world of conceptual design and direction, allowing a new generation to enjoy his artistic visions as they immersed themselves in Sonic the Hedgehog, Die Hard Arcade and other video games.

In retirement, he continues to make his mark, this time as a respected painter of compelling artwork, reaping awards and top prizes at California art shows and building a growing clientèle for his portraiture. He remains a favorite at comic book conventions, always happy to sign his drawings or swiftly draw Spiderman for an admiring young fan. - by Fay A. Olympia, Stockton, CA (2007) READ MORE HERE

he's back again here in Manila, and since that I missed his appearance at the Komikon 2008, now is my chance to meet him again hhahahaa. I'm now excited to see his new works on display at the gallery and the artworks will be sold too. Check in my coverage last time on Tony's 1st Super Heroes exhibit last 2007.
