Departing from the standard caped super hero mold, Pepe Moreno's style and aggressive, surgical approach to social commentary shook the world of graphic novels in its infancy. The message of his work still rings true. The combination of powerful story line and intuitive use of color continues to inspire generations of readers.

Pepe's short and serialized stories were published in comic book magazines such as Metal Hurlant and l'Echo des Savanes in Europe and Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella, Heavy Metal, and Epic magazine in the States.

It was in these publications that his first graphic novels would first be seen. It was there that he first wrote installments of ‘Generation Zero' (although this serial wouldn't appear in that format until 1992) and Zeppelin. In the early 1980s he produced his graphic novels 'Rebel' and 'Joe's Air Force', followed by 'Gene Kong'.

A few years later, Pepe Moreno's Batman: Digital Justice was at the forefront of the movement to combine the art of comic books with computer technology. Created in 1990 using a Macintosh II, the book was created with the help of 3D modeling, Raster and Vector painting and drawing programs, page layout and storytelling.

After more than a decade away from his first love (after cashing in on the pc gaming industry) and aching to draw again, Pepe was aproached by IDW to republish his graphic novel and other early works. Many years had gone by and technology leapt forward. This was a great opportunity to revisit the book’s design and execution as it was in its inception. This was not a redo, but an enhacement from the artist himself. The results speak for themselves.
