Artist - Napua Ahina

Born in Honolulu, Napua spent much of her childhood in the hospital, captivated by Archie comics for their art before she could even read. Her love for comics ignited when she discovered Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the library, sparking an obsession with Marvel and a full-blown comic book geekdom—culminating in a superhero-themed wedding!

With 15 years of experience in graphic design and web development, Napua took up digital painting as a fun hobby, only to turn it into a career thanks to the encouragement of Sam Campos. She now colors Pineapple Man: Old School Lock Up, collaborates with the Hawaiian Comic Book Alliance, and provides flat colors for an award-winning comic series, while also working with a mainland publisher. In her downtime, she enjoys MMO gaming, urban fantasy novels, and family time—whether comic shopping with her husband, collecting Pop vinyls with her sister, or watching zombie movies with her mom.
