CAFU (Carlos Alberto Fernandez Urbano) started drawings comic-books at a very young age, with a couple issues of Intimidators for Image Comics. He also did an album for Adonis / Dargaud in France, a still unpublished adaptation of Quo Vadis.

His first work for DC Comics were some pages for Manhunter #30. After that, he moved to Marvel to do Marvel Adv. The Avengers #15, #18, and Black Panther #34-#35, while also helping on X-Men: Die by the Sword #3-#4. He returned to DC to do the Vixen: Return of the Lion miniseries that would be his first collaboration with Santi Arcas. And next he’d do the 11 chapters of the Captain Atom co-feature in Action Comics, again with Santi and in some issues, inks by Bit.

After penciling War of the Supermen #3, and part of issue 4 and signing an exclusivity contract with the company, CAFU launched the critically acclaimed T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents series for DC Comics written by Nick Spencer.

​

After CAFU was named by DC Comics as one of the artists responsible for the New-52, it was decided that he’d be the artist on the new Grifter book. After that, he moved to Blackhawks, and returned to T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents for a “farewell” to the book in the last issue of its second miniseries.

​​

He then moved to Valiant as an exclusive creator, company where he worked on books like Unity; Rai, Imperium; Ninjak, Rapture, and Life and Death of Toyo Harada.

CAFU is currently an exclusive artist for Marvel, where he, aside of several collaborations with Marvel Studios with illustrations for Spider-Man: No Way Home, Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and others, he’s drawn books like Jane Foster: Valkyrie or the acclaimed Books of Korvak saga in Iron Man.

He’s the current artist on Venom for Marvel.
