Saverio Tenuta was born in Rome in 1969 and studied painting at the
Academy of Fine Arts. He began his career as a graphic artist and
later attended the International School of Comics in Rome, where he
would also teach. In addition to contributing to the magazine Heavy
Metal, he worked for DC Comics on JLA: Riddle of the Beast. In
2006, the first of his own series — which he wrote and illustrated
— the Japanese medieval adventure The Legend of the Scarlet Blades
was released in France by Humanoids. He expanded the Legend world
in 2014 with Izuna, which Tenuta wrote while Carita Lupatelli took
over the drawing duties. More series within the Legend universe are
forthcoming.
An alumna of the Rome Academy of Fine Arts, Carita Lupattelli began
her career as a comic book artist with Humanoids. Her first book,
Izuna: Book 1, co-created and written by Saverio Tenuta, was
released by Humanoids in 2015. Izuna: Book 2 was published in the
US in 2018, also from Humanoids. Both volumes were nominated for
Eisner Awards in the category of Best Painter/Multimedia Artist in
2016 and 2019, respectively.
This title is filled with high paced action and tension and it's
unlike any comic I've ever had the privilege to enjoy. Matching the
unique tale is a beautifully painted world that is meticulously
detailed.
