Karla Diaz

Karla Diaz is a prominent illustrator and manga author born in Santiago, Chile. Her initial works in the country paved the way for her to be contracted by publishers from various countries, including France, Denmark, and South Africa. One of her most notable works is "Empowered and the Soldier of Love," published by DarkHorse Comics. Karla's manga-style aesthetic and unquestionable ability to create drawings with great expressive power have earned her a devoted and extensive fan base. They rejoiced when her popular webcomic, Coffee Shop, made the transition to a printed graphic novel (self-published) in 2015. Since then, she has continued to astonish with other projects such as the series Non-Non, also available online. Currently, she is working for a light novel with Vault Comics and preparing her next manga one shot!
