Marc Torices (1989) is a comics artist and animator. While studying illustration at the Llotja-Avinyo school in Barcelona, he co founded the imprint Zangano Comix with classmate Pau Anglada, and self-published La cultura del duodeno, Viaje a Maiame, among other zines. In addition to writing comics, he s also worked as an editorial illustrator, an animator, and as an art director for some animation studios and other creative enterprises. Before the publication of Cornelius, Torices self-published several fanzines featuring the dog, and he also created the art for the biography Cortazar, written by Jesus Marchamalo and published in Spain, France, and Italy. He worked on some other comics before this as well, but never with the same enthusiasm as he had for Cornelius: The Merry Life of a Wretched Dog.

"Using the breadth of comic strip history, Marc Torices builds a monument of irrationality by way of his stooge, Cornelius the Dog. Like many of us, he can’t help but gnaw off his own leg time and time again in the face of life’s perplexities. Thankfully—for us and Cornelius—the world still turns."–Charles Forsman"It seems that Cornelius, like an archetype or a myth, has always existed. This is a comic beyond time, in the eternity of dogs, where Italo Calvino rides through Gasoline Alley, on a trolley car. Torices cartoons magically, as a shape shifter."–Matthew Thurber
