Bruno Matos is a Portuguese writer and illustrator, born in Angola on 29 August 1975. Self-taught in the arts, he drew his first comic at five, his mother and sisters filling in the speech balloons, and went on from comics to prose and illustration, publishing his first book in 2001: A Herança Moklin, which opened the Os 5 Moklins trilogy for young readers at Editorial Presença, completed in 2002. A later novel, Illusya, followed. He holds a degree in public relations and advertising and a postgraduate qualification in television production, and worked for some thirteen years at the Portuguese public broadcaster RTP as an on-air promotions video editor and copywriter. He is the creator of Lusitano, which he describes as the first fully Portuguese superhero, whose comic adventures began online and reached print in 2018 through a reader-funded campaign, and he has since written and illustrated the children's series A Família Monstro. He lives in the Seixal municipality, south of Lisbon.
