Biography

Marazano was born in Fontenay-aux-Roses, near Paris. After short scientific studies, he was introduced by artist Moebius to several comics publishers.

He was formerly pushed into comics by artist Jean Giraud, better known as Moebius, who advised him for a few years and introduced him to several publishers.

He also collaborated to the atelier Sanzot, a workshop gathering several French artists in Angoulême.

Meeting and collaborating with Victor Delafuente and Antonio Parras in Paris had a major influence over his art and inking. Despite being also a penciller, Marazano mostly works as writer for other artists.

In 2003 he created Cuervos, a series set in Colombia and telling the deeds of a killer in the drug traffic of the Medellín Cartel. The series artist was Michel Durand. In 2007-2008 he wrote the science fiction trilogy The Chimpanzee Complex, with art by Jean-Michel Ponzio. Other series by Marazano include the humoristic Cos & Mos (with Abel Chen) and Trelawney, with Spanish artist Alfonso Font, telling the story of a 19th-century corsair.

The sf-fantasy-thriller tetralogy Le Protocole Pélican (The Pelican Protocol), published in 2011-2013, also featured art by Ponzio.

In 2014 he has been following painting teaching by American Painter Max Ginsburg at the Art Student League in New-York.
