Harry Saxon started dabbling in comics and illustration from an early age and has worked with numerous magazines and publishing houses, both in his native Greece and abroad. So far, his work has been featured in more than 30 exhibitions around Europe.
He is a member of the Greek Comics Academy and he was one of the 2023 judges of Animasyros International Animation Festival.
He's been almost exclusively working as a comics colourist for several years. Some of his most known work is "Vagrant Queen" (the basis for the Syfy tv show with the same title), "Vagrant Queen: A Planet Called Doom", "Test! (Vault Comics) and "Sex Death Revolution" (Black Mask Comics).
His latest work includes "Killer Queens" and "Killer Queens v2" (Dark Horse Comics), that has been nominated for an Eisner Comic Industry Award and a GLAAD Media Award (twice).
His work often features LGBT themes - as he's a member of the community - but also sci-fi, fantasy and horror. He’s currently working on his first full lenght graphic novel, which is due to be released in 2025 from Jemma Press.
Not exhaustive cv follows, work prior 2012 might be included in future edits of this resume.
