work with ACE Publications and Graphic Arts Service (GASI), where he worked on
various stories including Babaing Bakulaw for Espesyal Komiks with writer Galo
Burgos, Ang Paborito ni Linda on Hiwaga Komiks with writer Mer. A Abella,

Rudy
Nebres found work with DC Comics when DC Comics publisher Carmine Infantino and
Editor Joe Orlando visited the Philippines on a scouting trip. He was given
assignments on such DC mystery titles likeThe Unexpected, House of Secrets and
Ghosts, but otherwide did fewer work for DC than might be expected.
Rudy
migrated to the US in 1975 and promptly found much more success when he started
working for Marvel Comics on such prestigious titles like Dr. Strange, The
Avengers, Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, King Kull, Conan, Red Sonja, Hulk, John
Carter of Mars, and Sheild.

He found much further acclaim when he started
working for Warren Publishing on Vampirella, 1984, and 1994 where he turned in
stories that represented an extraordinary evolution in his art characterized by
profuse, graceful hatching, dynamic figurework and imaginative compositions. .
He next spent 10 years working with Neal
Adams for Continuity Studios doing storyboards and animatics, but was able to
work on Continuity comics titles like Armor, Toyboy, Megalith, Ms. Mystic and
Samuree as well. He went freelance again afterwards and has since worked on a
variety of titles and companies like Spiderman, Conan and Punisher for Marvel,
as well as a Negation one shot in an issue of Crossgen Chronicles for Crossgen
Comics in 2002.
Rudy released "The Art of Rudy Nebres", a
collection of fan commissions in 2000 published by SQP Inc. Rudy currently
