Bio
|
|
Originally trained as an architect, in the 1950s Nestor Redondo joined his brothers in the Philippines comics business. He went on to become the most highly regarded and respected of all artists in the Philippines and founded a studio where nearly every major Filipino artist of the time apprenticed under him. In the early 1970s Redondo began working for DC comics in the U.S., where he illustrated Tarzan, Swamp Thing, and the beautiful short series Rima, The Jungle Girl.
In 1972 editor Vincent Fago discovered his work and visited Redondo in the Philippines. They began a collaboration on Fago's Pendulum Illustrated Classics series of comics adaptations for children.
