Cem Ozuduru
Cem Ozuduru is a Turkish comic book artist.
Biography
He was born in 1987, and has been writing and drawing professionally since his debut in the monthly comics magazine Rodeo Strip in 2005. Though moody in a way, his style is also received as a very fresh and vitalizing approach to what can be done in the medium of comic book storytelling: The cliché creatures of science-fiction, such as zombies, ghosts, etc. are situated in Ozuduru's short stories not as the centre of interest, but as keys that let the reader enter subconsciously into different level of perceiving what the writer has to say - that is, sometimes, a strongly political level.
Known to his fans as "the dreamcatcher", Ozuduru has recently finished his first long story in the format of a graphic novel (Zombistan, 2009).
Cartoons by Ozuduru appear in the pages of Altyazi, a monthly movie magazine. With texts by Murat Mihcioglu, this illustrated department of the magazine hosts an uncommon form of movie criticism, one that involves mostly humor.
