Eduardo Risso (1959) was born in Leones (Provincia de Córdoba), Argentina and began
his career in 1981 doing illustrations for the newspaper "La Nacion" and various magazines. In
1987, Risso collaborated with writer Ricardo Barreiro on his first real comicbook, called
Parque Chas, and published in Fierro (Argentinian comic anthology). The story was later
reprinted in French by Glénat in 1993.
In 1989, Eduardo Risso's first French work - Fulù - was first published in
Vécu magazine and after that by Glénat. In all, five books were published and
all books are written by Carlos Trillo.
Carlos Trillo has become a regular collaborator for Risso and they continue to do projects
together. In 1994, Risso and Trillo did Simon, une Aventure Américaine. In 1997, they
did Chicanos. It was during this time Risso started doing his first work for an American
publisher: two Alien projects for Dark Horse Comics.
The first project (1997) Risso did was the 2-part Aliens: Ressurection mini-series,
which is the comic adaptation of the fourth Alien movie. The second project (1998) was the
one-shot Aliens: Wraith.
Risso collaborated for the first time with writer Brian Azzarello in 1998 on the four-part
Jonny Double mini-series, for DC Comics.
In 1999, Risso and Azzarello started working on the 100 Bullets series for DC/Vertigo.
Risso also continues to work with writer Carlos Trillo. Together they did four books of Je
suis un Vampire and their most recent collaboration is called Lectures Macabres.
Risso shares his studio with fellow Argentinian artist Marcelo Frusin (Hellblazer) and because
they both don't speak english very well, they have their scripts translated for them into
spanish.
