Look Into My Eyes

About the Author

I’m Rubine, a comic book artist and writer passionate about graphic novels and manga. My story begins with a rare illness I suffered during childhood, which kept me bedridden for many years. During that time, comics became my refuge and salvation: through their pages, I traveled to other worlds and lived countless lives, even from the cold confines of a hospital room. These stories helped me endure and fueled my dream of one day creating my own adventures. Thanks to this, the love of my family, and a complex surgery followed by a lengthy rehabilitation, I overcame that challenging chapter of my life. Since then, I’ve pursued a clear goal: to inspire others and make them dream, just as my favorite creators did for me. Throughout my career as an artist, I have been defined by my versatility and a constant creative curiosity that has led me to explore a variety of styles. Now, I’m embarking on a new chapter as a writer, fulfilling the promise I made to my younger self: to craft stories that pay tribute to the classic films, video games, and comics that shaped my childhood while blending them with my current passions to deliver a contemporary, innovative, and experimental vision. As a millennial who grew up during the transition from analog to digital, my work reflects this duality—combining the nostalgia of the classics with a disruptive approach designed to surprise and inspire my readers. My work Look Into My Eyes is the first result of this creative phase, where I believe I’ve best captured this mix of tradition and innovation. And this is just the beginning—I hope you’ll join me on this journey! (The Expanse-Boom! Studios, Voltron-Lion Forge, Search for Hu or Astronaut Down-both for AfterShock).

El Torres' work is characterized by the use of familiar tropes from popular culture, always giving them a unique twist. His books have been published in the USA, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Poland and Japan, but he prefers to live in the south of Spain.
