Born in Naples, earning to read with Mickey Mouse comics, Mirka Andolfo enrolled in the Italian School of Comix in Naples. She made her professional debut, colouring the work of Daniela Di Matteo for French publishers before drawing covers. Her colouring work began to be taken over by originated artwork for many publishers, with her own work being picked by Image Comics and Ablaze Media to be translated into English for the American market, as well as writing and drawing Harley Quinn for DC.
"It's cool that the first American publishing house which asked me to do a cover was Boom Studios, when I was working as a colorist, ages ago," said Mirka Andolfo. "And after years I'm happy and proud to be back on covers for the same publisher. I find the same enthusiasm and quality there was at that time, and books which are even better! I'm thrilled to work on covers for all these amazing series, especially the ones in the Buffyverse…"
"Mirka has distinguished herself as one of the most popular writers and artists in comics today. We've had the pleasure of working with Mirka for years and are thrilled to have her delivering so many incredible covers for our titles," said Matt Gagnon, Editor in Chief, Boom Studios. "You're seeing her awesome vision of the Buffyverse today with Willow #1 and we're excited for you to see what she has planned for our top series over the next year."
