Biography
Kano began his career at the age of 13, editing Spanish-language comics fanzines; at 15 he was already doing layouts and design work for
Planeta-DeAgostini (later doing covers and illustrations for the Spanish editions of
Marvel comics).
[1] Kano is a founding member of the Spanish magazine about comics Krazy Comics as well as the Phoenix Studio, which provided design, illustration and publishing services and was eventually merged with
Camaleón Ediciones , a publishing house that Kano worked for in his early days.
Before settling as a professional cartoonist, Kano has done extensive work in the fields of illustration and animation, providing storyboards for
D'Ocon Films and
LolaFilms and design work for
Telefónica-Movistar ,
Mitsubishi and various advertising agencies.

In 1998, encouraged by his wife Elsken, Kano decided to enter US comics industry and debuted with the
Virtex mini-series, published by
Oktomica Comics . He then went to work for the mainstream market, where he succeeded
Germán García on
Action Comics at
DC Comics .
[2] Since then, Kano worked mostly for Marvel and DC, and, since 2014, for the revived
Valiant Entertainment .
