'El Juez'.
Nahuel Amaya is an illustrator and comic book artist from Argentina. He was born in 1986 in Buenos Aires and studied in several local art schools, learning from different artists such as Lito Fernández, Juan Bobillo, José Sanabria and Mauro Serafini. This variety of professors gave him lots of techniques and styles to apply in his art. Since 2008 he has been developing his artwork by working with agencies (El Almacen, Enroc) and publishers (Edebé, Agua Negra Ediciones, Maten al Mensajero), while also doing private commissions. In 2011 he worked with the writer Federico Grunauer on the graphic novel 'Mal Tiempo' ('Worst Time').
Agua Negra Ediciones published his first solo comic in 2014. 'El Hombre Cucaracha' ('Cockroachman') is a collection of 82 humorous comic strips, but with an ongoing storyline. Amaya's comic about a lone survivor in a cataclysmic event won the local Banda Dibujada Award for Humor Book in 2015. His second story was published in the trade paperback 'Zok!' in 2016. 'El Juez' ('The Judge') is drawn in detailed figurative art, with philosophical themes and a plot with several twists. The story follows the inner battles of Sur, a Servant of Justice, who helps The Judge by bringing those to justice who broke the one and only law: do not kill. Feeling guilty for what he and his master have done to obtain power, he has to battle his fellow Servants, his master and himself.
