From Architect to Artist: Emma Ríos’ Rise in Comics

If you can make it through this interview with Image Comics’ Emma Ríos without either falling in love with the craft of, like, creating comics and art or falling in love with her, then you’re stronger than us!

Emma Ríos is a comic artist and writer hailing from Spain, and that’s JUST the tip of the iceberg.

You may know Ríos’ work as the artist and co-creator of Pretty Deadly, with Kelly Sue DeConnick, or as the writer and co-creator of Mirror, with Hwei Lim, but she wasn’t always an independent comic wonder. Ríos has done work for Boom Comics AND Marvel, before returning to independent work in 2013. Through Image, she has also published her own book, I.D., on which she serves as the sole writer and artist.

Tune in to this episode of the Skybound Insider to hear about Ríos’ past as an architect, her stint as a professional fencer, and her childhood loving comic books! Ríos’ route to comics wasn’t as clear cut as some, but she’s proven herself in every aspect of the medium and is truly a dynamic creator and voice.

Sit back and GET HYPED for our discussion with Emma Ríos – we can’t wait for you to hear what she has to say!
