TONI CABALLERO

Toni Caballero (born in Valencia in 1991) is a professional illustrator and manga artist. After completing a postgraduate degree in illustration at the ESAT in Valencia, he began working tirelessly in the comic book industry and became a finalist in Norma Editorial's manga competition four times. He has also worked as an illustrator for various cultural events and brands, including Fnac, Heroes Comic Con and Panini Comics.

His realistic pop style has earned him several awards from SMA (Coamix Inc./North Star Pictures) in Japan.
