Japanese manga artist and illustrator, Acky Bright, whose work was the driving creative force behind the character designs, artwork, and storytelling of McDonald's global WcDonald's campaign and partnerships with BMW, Lexus, Hasbro, Red Bull, and Meta, now brings his "kawakakkoii" style to an all-new Bad Idea Comics project debuting this week at New York Comic Con. Beginning with a collaboration with Hasbro, where he art-directed apparel featuring the Transformers, Bright has since expanded his reach to everything from Squid Game to professional racing. Today, he stands among the most prominent Japanese illustrators expanding their creative presence in North America, with artwork on magazine covers, headlined live events and solo exhibitions across the globe.

"I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with one of the hottest publishers right now, Bad Idea combining the stories crafted by writer Robert Venditti with the worlds I create. I want to make comics that will surprise everyone, something no one has ever seen before—that's what I'm aiming for" said Acky Bright.
