Ulises Fariñas

Ulises Alfonso Fariñas was born on December 29, 1985, in Elizabeth, New Jersey. A Cuban-American comic book creator, he worked as a writer and artist across 29 issues between 2011 and 2017. Fariñas is best known for his contributions to the *Judge Dredd* universe, particularly the storylines *The Blessed Earth* and *Mega-City Two*, as well as the anthology series *Amazing Forest*. He also lent his talents to licensed properties, including *The Transformers: Heart of Darkness* and the all-ages title *Regular Show*, and contributed to the fantasy series *Glory*. His style is marked by clean linework and a dynamic sense of storytelling, often collaborating with writers like John Wagner and artists such as Eoin Coveney. Fariñas’s work on *Judge Dredd* helped expand the dystopian world of Mega-City One, and his versatility across genres—from sci-fi to humor—showcased his range. After his active period in the 2010s, he stepped back from regular comics work, leaving a modest but distinctive footprint in independent and licensed comics. No major awards are recorded in his career, but his contributions to the *Judge Dredd* franchise remain a highlight for fans of the character.
