Dominican Comicbook Artists
Here you will find a list of the best active Dominican sequential artists. Young people with great talent for creating comics in all its forms.
A new generation Sequential Artists
Since Will Eisner legitimized comics after arduous research and subsequent pedagogical work in the United States, the now famous sequential art has taken its place as the most accessible narrative medium of all, cementing itself as the acclaimed ninth art.
Es por esto que a pesar de que la palabra ”Cómic” sigue siendo ampliamente utilizada para referirse al formato de historietas estadounidenses semanales (generalmente de super héroes), nuevos términos han sido acuñados con el objetivo de ir de la mano con la seriedad y diversidad de géneros que poco a poco empiezan a representar a este medio en la mente del público.
Today we talk about Graphic Novels thanks to Eisner, a format that has borrowed almost all existing genres in classical literature. Fortunately, this is not the only thing that it has borrowed. The inspiration that has enriched the works that a new generation of sequential artists read and create, has also inspired a wave of young Dominican artists to turn sequential art into the catalyst to make their dreams come true.
Here are some of the young people who have made us believe in the future of Dominican sequential art:
