DANIEL ACUÑA

BIOGRAPHY

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.

After starting the Black Widow ongoing series, Daniel provided art for Captain America #611, New Avengers #8, Wolverine, and X-Men Schism. After a stint on The Avengers, and the AvX issues of Uncanny X-Men. After two lengthy and really successful runs on Uncanny Avengers and Sam Wilson: Captain America, he worked on Black Panther with writer Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Dani is the current cover artist on X-Force and he's been working on a BIG, Top Secret project for Marvel that we hope will be announced really soon!
