Miguel Guerra Bio
Miguel Guerra is the creator, artist and writer of the Samurai Elf® series and the soon to come all ages graphic novel series, Alric the Wild™. He has published short stories in smaller publications like Antarctic Press and now publishes in Heavy Metal Magazine.
Miguel was born in Madrid to an American father and a Spanish mother. He grew up in Spain, Canada and the U.S., which explains his many stylistic influences, including Japanese, European and American art. He excels at blending all of his influences to create an original art style that many reviewers have said is like reading an animated film.
From 2003-2007, he worked as a translator for NBM Publishing (Spanish to English). Some of his more popular translations include, Fantastic Art and Dark Labyrinth by Luis Royo, and Daily Delirium by Miguelanxo Prado. He is currently a translator for Heavy Metal Magazine. He has translated numerous short stories for the magazine (virtually every issue has something Miguel has translated), as well as books such as Lorna: The Black Towers by Alfonso Azpiri, The Forgotten by Cris Ortega, and Cruel Thing by Lean (art by Luciano Vecchio).

Suzy Dias Bio
Suzy Dias is also the Editor-In-Chief and main writer for Iberian Press. She is the editor and co-writer of the Samurai Elf® series, and the co-creator and writer of an all ages graphic novel series called Alric the Wild™ (coming in 2009). How does she work with Miguel? Once he hands her the initial script (he knows exactly where he wants the story to go), she keeps true to the plot while working on the dialogue and adding important details (character personalities, history of the planet and a plausible scientific basis for all of Miguel's fantastic creatures and vehicles).
Suzy was born in Toronto, Canada. Her parents immigrated to Canada from Portugal and were kind enough to teach her the language, which she speaks fluently. She has worked various professional jobs in finance and marketing, and for the last several years has worked as an editor at a leading financial information services company in Manhattan.
Suzy loves to spin a good yarn, especially in the form of children's and young adult books. Her topics range anywhere from theoretical physics to fairy tales to sci fi/adventure. She purposefully uses traditional themes to carry readers into worlds of sublime nonsense. She excels at what she calls, “children's vaudeville,” where ridiculous situations provide opportunities to elevate her humble heroes. Suzy and Miguel have many future projects in the works that they hope to publish in the next few years so stay tuned.
