“Colors are not dressing. They have to tell the story. And as pretty as a cover might be… It might tell a story, but it might not tell the story that’s inside the book. It might be a lie.”
-Edgar Delgado
Edgar Delgado is one of the best comic book colorists in the mainstream comics industry.
His career began when he decided to skip college and self-publish 1,000 copies of Ultra Duck (his creator-owned own comic) instead. He quickly became a local hero in the Mexican comics industry and eventually sold every copy.
Several years later, he embarked on the first of many successful collaborations with superstar penciller Humberto Ramos.
I (Chris) discovered both artists with their first Spider-man series in 2003.
That series was one of the most significant stylistic influences in my entire life.
In 2008 Edgar rebooted Ultra Duck with wunderkind Omar Lozano and he’s currently writing Ultra Duck 2.
