Born in Valencia, Spain and currently a New York resident, Daphne Lage has been drawing for as long as she can remember. Totally enchanted and inspired by the work of Walt Disney, it was her first dream to become a full-time animator for Walt Disney Productions. But that want for an animation career came to a screeching halt as she entered her high school years and discovered comics.
While in high school she became a member of Golden Realm Unlimited, the brainchild of Jose Calderon, writer and still Daphne's business and personal partner. He had started his own comic book company and was looking for an artist who could draw animal-people for his comic TALL TAILS. It was through this effort that she learned to take advantage of the comics medium and from that point on, Daphne decided she was going to be a comic book illustrator.
Everything came to a head during her college years at the School of Visual Arts when she entered under the tutelage of comic book legend, Will Eisner. She began her publishing career with a short illustrated story in WILL EISNER'S GALLERY, a college publication in which she was also the editor. REVELATIONS, her first actual comic in which TALL TAILS debuted, was also finally published by GRU around that time as well.
Daphne and Jose are currently continuing the series and more detailed information can be found on the official TALL TAILS website.
