Ladronn
Ladrönn was born and raised in Veracruz, Mexico, and after leaving Art School at the age of 21, managed a design studio and later worked for Televisa Veracruz as a designer of animated station promotionals. His goal was always to work as a painter, and he never considered creating comics, especially not for the American market, until after he visited the San Diego Comic Con with a friend in 1995. Ladronn was invited to submit samples of his work to Marvel Comics and shortly thereafter he landed a regular job penciling CABLE. He was later joined on the book by Joe Casey, and they created a memorable run on the title together from issue 51 through issue 70. Ladronn's incredible painted work was first published in a short story for the THOR 2000 Annual before he started work on THE INHUMANS mini series with Carlos Pacheco. This was to be his last work for Marvel before starting his career over again on HIP FLASK.

Elephantmen named "Best Ongoing Series" at CBR!
January 26, 2010

"I've been raving about Elephantmen since it began, and this year it just kept getting better and better. Starkings is not only telling a ripping good science fiction yarn about these animal/human hybrids and the scary overarching plot, he's doing what all good science fiction does -- illuminate our own society. This is a comic about what moves men to kill and to love and to dominate and to create. It's a brilliant book. " and#8212; Greg Burgas at ComicBookResources.com
