About the Author

Damián Campanario Hernández, known as Damián, was born in Barcelona in 1976. His formal training is in education, graduating from the University of Barcelona and then going to work for the Ministry of Justice in Catalonia. He would later enter the world of comics by taking part in the collective work "Barcelona TM," published by Norma, where he had the chance to work alongside numerous other comics creators. From there, his projects grew in scope, ranging from the adaptation of a novel ("Lágrimas en la lluvia") to the wartime graphic novel "Blechkoller," his first work published in France. Over the years, Damián has steadily made his mark on the comics world, showing his incredible creativity and versatility with each new project, both collaborative works and new series, with an increasingly international reach. His series "GenPet" (Ankama), created alongside Àlex Fuentes, captured readers' imagination across France, Spain, Italy, and the US, winning awards along the way. Damián and Àlex Fuentes have now come together again for the series "Perdus dans le futur" (Dupuis; "Lost in the Future," Europe Comics), an adventure saga for younger readers filled with surprises at every turn.

Spanish artist Àlex Fuentes was born in Barcelona in 1982. From a young age, he was drawn to comics and the immersive worlds of "Asterix" and "Lucky Luke," and when it came time to choose his own path, he decided to go down the same road, setting his sights on the acclaimed Joso School in Barcelona. From there, he went to work for an animation studio, followed by a film production company, all while dabbling in fanzines along the way. In 2010 he published a full-length work, "Miga, sous les nuages" (published by Bang), and in 2016 he had a major breakthrough with the series "GenPet" (Ankama), created together with scriptwriter Damián. Most recently, the two have renewed their collaboration with the adventure series "Perdus dans le futur" (Dupuis; "Lost in the Future," Europe Comics), an entertaining romp through time in the company of a band of friends far from home. Recognized for his innovative and colorful style, Àlex continues to make his mark on the comics world with each new creation.
