Eduardo Risso (1959) was born in Leones (Provincia de Córdoba), Argentina and began his career in 1981 doing illustrations for the newspaper "La Nacion" and various magazines. In 1987, Risso collaborated with writer Ricardo Barreiro on his first real comicbook, called Parque Chas, and published in Fierro (Argentinian comic anthology). The story was later reprinted in French by Glénat in 1993.
In 1989, Eduardo Risso's first French work - Fulù - was first published in Vécu magazine and after that by Glénat. In all, five books were published and all books are written by Carlos Trillo. Carlos Trillo has become a regular collaborator for Risso and they continue to do projects together. In 1994, Risso and Trillo did Simon, une Aventure Américaine. In 1997, they did Chicanos. It was during this time Risso started doing his first work for an American publisher: two Alien projects for Dark Horse Comics. The first project (1997) Risso did was the 2-part Aliens: Ressurection mini-series, which is the comic adaptation of the fourth Alien movie. The second project (1998) was the one-shot Aliens: Wraith. Risso collaborated for the first time with writer Brian Azzarello in 1998 on the four-part Jonny Double mini-series, for DC Comics. In 1999, Risso and Azzarello started working on the 100 Bullets series for DC/Vertigo. Risso also continues to work with writer Carlos Trillo. Together they did four books of Je suis un Vampire and their most recent collaboration is called Lectures Macabres. Risso shares his studio with fellow Argentinian artist Marcelo Frusin (Hellblazer) and because they both don't speak english very well, they have their scripts translated for them into spanish.
