Rafael Albuquerque Biography

Rafael Albuquerque is one of the most popular and richest Painter who was born on April 12, 1981 in Porto Alegre, Porto Alegre, Brazil. Rafael Albuquerque was born in 1981 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. His favorite writer is Brian Azzarello.

Albuquerque first gained the notice of U.S. comics readers with his work as the regular penciler on the DC Comics monthly series Blue Beetle, which he drew from issues #10 (February 2007) to #34 (February 2009). The series proved to be a challenge to Albuquerque, who thought the mainstream superhero book was not well-suited to his darker style, and approached the book by employing less heavy blacks and ink splats, and a more “cartoony” storytelling style. His other DC work has included covers of several titles, as well as interior work on issues #52 and #53 of Superman/Batman. and the Robin/Spoiler Special

1 in 2008. That same year, Albuquerque illustrated writer Ivan Brandon’s

story, “Wild Goose”, which appeared in the Dark Horse Comics anthology Tales of the Fear Agent. In 2009 he drew issues #3 and #4 of Strange Adventures and drew the covers to Marvel Comics’ four-issue miniseries Nomad: Girl Without a World.

In January 2010, Newsarama named Albuquerque one of ten creators to watch for the coming year. Albuquerque, with Eduardo Medeiros and Mateus Santolouco, wrote Mondo Urbano (Urban World), a graphic novel published by Oni Press. That same year Albuquerque began illustrating American Vampire, a vampire series published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint, the first five issues of which consisted of two separate stories, one by Scott Snyder and one by Stephen King, marking King’s first original work for comics. Albuquerque illustrated the two stories with different styles, representative of both the personalities of the characters and the eras in which they were set, explaining that he utilized high-contrast blacks and whites for the 1920s story featuring Pearl in order to evoke the films of that era, and a “dirtier, sketchier technique” involving traditional inking, ink wash and pencils for the 1880s story featuring bank robber Skinner, in order to evoke that story’s “rough and violent” setting. The first hardcover collection appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list, and the series won IGN’s Best of 2010 Award, 2011 Eisner Award and the 2011 Harvey Award, all of them for Best New Series.

In 2012 Albuquerque illustrated and wrote his first story for DC Comics, which appeared in Legends of the Dark Knight. He drew backup stories for Batman vol. 2 #21–23 (August–October 2013) as part of the “Batman: Zero Year” storyline.

In 2005, Albuquerque published the creator-owned graphic novel crime story Rumble in la Rambla. It would be published in the United States in 2007 by Image Comics under the title Crimeland. He collaborated with writers Keith Giffen and Alan Grant in 2006 by illustrating issues #4 and #5 of Jeremiah Harm and the first issue of Pirate Tales for Boom! Studios.
