Emma Ríos Maneiro (born January 1, 1976, Vilagarcía de Arousa) is a Spanish comics artist, writer, and editor with an international presence in the comics industry. Currently, she is working on several ongoing titles: Mirror with Malaysian artist Hwei Lim and Pretty Deadly with American writer Kelly Sue Deconnick. The latter of which earned Ríos an Eisner award nomination for "Best Penciller/Inker/Artist", her second [1]. She is also a rapier fencer specializing in La Verdadera Destreza.
Education[edit]
Ríos began drawing as a child and is a self-taught artist[2]. As a young adult, Ríos attended University of A Coruña for architecture and afterwards worked as an architect for a few years while publishing comics on the side in fanzine. In 2008, she refocused her career on comics [3].
Career[edit]
In the same year Ríos resigned from architecture, she participated in Lingua Comica, a transnational comics workshop program [4] funded by the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF). Ríos has related in interviews that she did not feel like a real comics artist until she was selected for the program alongside Hwei Lim, whom she currently co-creates Mirror with. Shortly afterwards, she began to work for several of the largest comics publishers.
Small Press and Fanzines[edit]
Prior to resigning from architecture, Ríos began her career in comics by self-publishing zines in her teenage years. Over time, Ríos was a regular contributor to the Galicia, Spain based small press and fanzine Polaquia [5]. Here, Ríos published multiple original works including APB (A Proof of Bullets) and other comics.
Boom! Studios[edit]
Ríos debuted in American comics in 2008 with Hexed, a fantasy/horror title under Boom! Studios[6] she illustrated for Michael Nelson.
Marvel[edit]
Ríos first joined Marvel comics as an illustrator for Doctor Strange written by Mark Waid. Ríos accredits Waid for pushing her to pursue a career in Marvel comics, where she has worked on many titles including The Amazing Spider-man, Runaways, Girl Comics, and Osborn, a mini-series about the Spider-man villain Norman Osborn. Ríos partnered with Kelly Sue Deconnick for Osborn, whom she worked on several other projects with across multiple publishers.
Image[edit]
At Image, Ríos and Deconnick joined forces for Pretty Deadly, an award winning and ongoing western/fantasy series. Deconnick and Lesser known, Ríos collaborated previously at Image for “Railbirds”, a graphic reflection and tribute written by Deconnick for her friend, the late slam-poet Maggie Estep a year after her death. This appeared in Island magazine, an ambitious monthly comics anthology published from 2015 to 2017, which Ríos co-edited and contributed to with Brandan-Graham. Although the magazine ended, Ríos has gone on record to say it was an unforgettable experience that she was proud to be a part of[7].
