Biography

Adriana Melo was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil on June 19, 1976. As a young child, she had more of an interest in creating artworks and wanted to be a comic book artist. At 16 while in a technical drawing course in high school, she had one of her first experiences with drawing comic images. She penciled a color reproduced of a scene in "The Death of Superman". During this time, the Jornal A Tarde featured an interview with artist Roger Cruz which further sparked her interested in graphic novel creation. The pursuit into the field of graphic novel creation gave the opportunity to combine two areas of study that she enjoyed: the study of the human figure and comics.

Attending her first comic event in São Paulo, Brazil, Adriana spoke to two professionals in the graphic novel industry that were evaluating portfolios. Roger Cruz and Marc Campos liked the materials and arranged for contact for Adrianna and an agency that brokers in art and comics. After six months of training, she received her first job opportunity to work on Iron Man. Eventually, Adriana would contribute to Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, and other titles.

Her first job was working on a special editions for

Rose & Thorn, contributed to art for Birds of Prey (including covers), Emma Frost, and illustrated pinups for Samurai: Heaven & Earth. Eventually, she would pencil for Witchblade in which she worked with Ron Marz to create the character Danielle Baptiste
. Adriana became the first woman to draw this character in Justiceiro, which is a Punisher-Witchblade crossover.

Recently, Adriana has worked on Sinestro Corps Special: Parallax, Ms. Marvel Jackpot, and collaborated on volume 2 of Birds of Prey.

Publishers

Adriana has worked on projects from DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics, and Top Cow Productions.
