About the Author
Born in Cuba in 1969, Ricky showed an affinity for illustration at a young age, studying a talented neighbor's painting skills. By 1983, the Carraleros made it to the United States, and Ricky's artistic abilities made the transition to an English-speaking country much easier. With a fascination for comic books, the young Carralero haunted comic conventions, showing off his portfolio to any prospective publisher. Finally, with the aid of a fellow enthusiast (plus a sizable bankroll from Ricky's parents, who mortgaged their home!), Carralero debuted ?Double Impact? comics in 1994. Featuring the exploits of two buxom adventurerers ?China? and ?Jazz?, this independent title rode the crest of a tidal wave of new comics, and put Carralero on the map. Within a very short time, the parents were repaid, the business was on solid ground, and Ricky Carralero was a well-known fan favorite. The artist now concentrates on the craft of painting, still keeping his focus on impossibly-beautiful women with gravity-defying bodies. His works fetch gallery prices, and are much sought-after in the fantasy art market.
