7 ROBOTS, INC.
Can you imagine an artist who can write? Or a writer with a head for business? Most companies aren't sure what to do with people who don't fit into little boxes. Miguel Guerra and Suzy Dias decided to break through these barriers.
7 Robots is an expression of pure imagination and fun. Since no single company could house our varied interests and passions, we started our own. We are artistic and savvy entrepreneurs, i.e., we pursue what we love with reckless cautious abandon.
BIOS
Miguel Guerra was born and spent much of his childhood in Madrid, Spain, and nearby Alcalá de Henares. He’s the son of a Spanish mother and an African American father who was stationed in Madrid. Along with his older brother James, Miguel and his family later moved around the USA and settled in Canada. He speaks English and Spanish.
Suzy Dias is a comic book creator, writer, and graphic designer for 7 Robots. She is also a Project Manager for a large financial news and data company in New York City. Her parents are from Portugal and settled in Toronto, Canada to raise a family of three girls. Suzy speaks English,
Portuguese, and Spanish.
Miguel and Suzy met in university and were soon married. They made their way to New York City to try their luck. They found the city never sleeps because people never stop working, which was just fine with them. The New York vibe is intensely creative, cynical, and frenzied, all of which provided a deluge of story ideas. Miguel is constantly sketching and working on new concepts and Suzy writes children’s books and scripts while riding the subway to and from work. The city tapped into their creative juices and they haven’t looked back since.
They have two young children who brought their own inspiration with Super Kid Heroes. With a little help from their son they also found a name for their new company. When asked what he loves most, he narrowed it down to trains, trucks, and robots. Robots was everyone's hands down favorite. It’s a universal word that inspires a child’s curiosity and exemplifies modern scientific breakthroughs. Not bad for a three year old.
COMPANY PROFILE
Miguel Guerra is a comic book creator, artist, and writer. Suzy Dias is a writer, editor, and graphic designer. They began publishing their own graphic novels and comics in 2006 under Iberian Press. Their first major title, Samurai Elf, is a five part graphic novel series about a naïve teen that is forced to live life on the edge after massive failures plunge his world into a global war. The key themes are friendship, war (lead-up and aftermath), nature vs. technology, and a coming of age. Volumes one and two appeared in 2006 and 2008 through Diamond Comic Distributors. Miguel and Suzy’s short stories have also been featured in Heavy Metal (magazine) from 2007 to 2010.
In 2011, Iberian Press evolved into 7 Robots, Inc., a company with a wider field of view. 7 Robots provides a launch pad for Miguel and Suzy to create and produce anything they can imagine - comics, graphic novels, scripts, custom toys, etc. December 2011 brought a brand new gift idea - Super Kid Heroes - where Miguel creates illustrations of classic superheroes whose faces and features are left unfinished...a blank canvas waiting for your child's smiling face. Fun, one of a kind art for kids.
2012 is a banner year with the publication of two new titles: Super Corporate Heroes and Alric the Wild.
Super Corporate Heroes is a satirical comic book mini-series that takes place in an alternate reality, where superheroes are real and they work for a living. The economy is in the toilet and a Machiavellian supervillain called the Invisible Hand secretly controls Wall Street and the direction
of the nation.
Alric the Wild is a quirky all-ages graphic novel series that introduces kids to major people and places in ancient history. If you cross Conan the Barbarian with SpongeBob SquarePants and add a sprinkling of Indiana Jones, you'll begin to understand Alric the Wild. The first volume is aptly named, Alric the Wild and the Flushing of Atlantis.
