About Me

Born in 1981, in Porto Alegre, south of Brazil, Rafael Albuquerque begun his professional career working for advertising, producing illustrations for local companies. The comic book interest, however, started in 2002, when he decided to work exclusively for the publishing market.Basically all of his portfolio was shown only at internet, and trough this media came his first comic book job. The Egyptian company AK Comics asked for some samples, and then he got his first gig overseas. Rafael..s colaboration (not only as artist, but sometimes as creator) was very important for the company.In 2005, with the writer Felipe Ferreira, has created the owner creator graphic novel Crimeland (first called Rumble in la Rambla), published in 2007 by Image Comics.For Boom! Studios has illustrated series like Savage Brothers (writter by Andrew Cosby and Johanna Stokes), Pirate Tales (writter by Chris Ward) and Jeremiah Harm (created by Keith Giffen and Alan Grant).Rafael has also colaborate in antologies like Tales of Fear Agent (with Ivan Brandon) for Dark Horse Comics, Wonderlost (written by C.B. Cebulski) and the Eisner Award nominated 24Seven - vol2.Nowdays Rafael is an exclusive artist from DC Comics, working in books like Blue Beetle (writtenby Keith Giffen, John Rogers and Matthew Struges), Robin (written by Chuck Dixon) , Stanger Advetures (written by Jim Starlin) and Superman/Batman (written by Michael Green and Mike Johnson).
