Marc Torices (1989) is a comics artist and animator. While studying illustration at the Llotja-Avinyó school in Barcelona, he co founded the imprint Zángano Comix with classmate Pau Anglada, and self-published La cultura del duodeno, Viaje a Maiame, among other zines. In addition to writing comics, he’s also worked as an editorial illustrator, an animator, and as an art director for some animation studios and other creative enterprises. He directed two award-winning animated shorts. Knockstrike, co-directed with Pau Anglada y Genís Rigol and Naive Mischief in Oak Paso. Before the publication of Cornelius, Torices self-published several fanzines featuring the dog, and he also created the art for the biography Cortázar, written by Jesús Marchamalo and published in Spain, France, and Italy. He worked on some other comics before this as well, but never with the same enthusiasm as he had for Cornelius: The Merry Life of a Wretched Dog.
