RAMON GIL


w r i t e r  •  a r t i s t  •  e d u c a t o r



Ramon Gil got his first cartooning byline at the age of ten and is still waiting to get paid. Despite that he has been making up stories ever since though sometimes for highly questionable reasons. His favorite genres are science fiction, espionage and conspiracy theories sprinkled with lots of witty dialogue which he plagiarizes from conversations with people who are way smarter and funnier than he is. Ramon is taking credit for work done for Dynamite Comics, Atlas Unleashed, Vortex Comics, Bleeding Cool, The Beat, Comics Creator News, The Nerdist and Comics Experience.

He is the creator ofThe Whiz Kids from DARPA (StoryArk), Everybody Needs a Hero (Benchmark Education), Truer Than Trousdale (University of Southern California), and Black Stories Matter (Fashion Institute of Technology). He's also illustrated a picture book called Party Train (Different Roads) for children on the Autism spectrum and has an upcoming Early Reader book called Firefighters: An Exciting Job (Aptara).

He enjoys helping creators through coaching, workshops and panel discussions at various comic cons if not his own events. Currently, he teaches comics to impressionable young creators at Yeshiva University and the Fashion Institure of Technology (FIT). He is the founder and organizer of Diversity Comic Con and the Symposium on Comic Arts.

Ramon spent 20 years in advertising and even ran his own design firm for almost decade before dabbling with start-ups. He got his Bachelor of Arts from California State University, Long Beach and earned his Master of Fine Art degree in Illustration from FIT. His grad school thesis Comic Books versus Graphic Novels is available on Amazon and other retailers as are most of his books.

Some Praise


"The Hard Code is an exciting sci-fi crime story with a well thought out and developed plot, which pulls you in from the first word balloon. The smart and tense banter between Detectives Drake and Garcia will have you checking in on their tumultuous relationship for issues to come. A refreshing take on the age-old man vs. machine."
