Sergio Bleda began his career as a cartoonist and screenwriter in 1991, making press strips for the regional weekly Crónica. Since then, he has developed as a cartoonist and illustrator, standing out in the horror genre, although he also performs humorous, children's, adventure and erotic works.
He has worked for magazines such as El Víbora, Kiss Comix and with international publishers such as Casterman or Soleil, with whom he has published series such as NSA or Dolls Killer.
Recently, he has been awarded the prize for the best illustrated album in the First Edition of the Carlos Giménez Awards for Five Passionate Stories, an erotic book with explicit content written by Ricardo Esteban and illustrated by Bleda.
