I've had the privilege of having my work appear with Yong Montaño on the pages of Terror Komiks, published by Mass Media Communications in 1992. I met him not too long ago and I was surprised to learn that he actually knew who I was.

Specializing in the horror genre, he has worked on comics in that genre, including the aforementioned Terror Comics, as well as comics published in the US like Monsters Unleashed, Tales of the Zombie, Vampire Tales, Marvel Chillers, Haunt of Horrors and Giant Size Werewolf.
