Meet Martin and Xabier

Meet the Basque authors Xabier and Martin Etxeberria:

It all started in 1999 when brothers Xabi and Martin tried to write a children’s story together. Their story, “Airean ere negu usaina nabari da” (1999, Erein), ended up winning the Lizardi Prize.

Since then, as a creative tandem, they have written several works in children’s literature, in adult fiction, and most recently in the world of comics.

Both Martin and Xabier have each published their own works as well.

OUR RECENT WORK

Our Latest Project: Broken Eye

We will publish a new comic in the US. It’s called BROKEN EYE and without telling too much about the story, we can anticipate that it will be drawn by the incredible young Basque artist IÑAKI ARENAS and that it will be published by the American publisher SCOUT COMICS. Fantastic traveling companions for this new adventure!
