Jayme Cortez was born in 1926 in Lisbon, Portugal. He began his career in 1944, drawing comic strips in the weekly newspaper O Mosquito. In 1947, he migrated to São Paulo in Brazil and started creating cartoons, comic strips and illustrations for several newspapers. During the 1950s, Cortez enjoyed tremendous success in Brazil, thanks to his work in the magazine O Terror Negro (The Black Terror). He passed away in São Paulo in 1987.

Paulo Monteiro was born in Vila Nova de Gaia, Oporto, in the north of Portugal, in 1967. Since 2005 he has been the director of the Beja Comics Library and of Beja's International Comics Festival. He regularly travels across Europe, Angola, and Brazil to talk about the history of comics. As a comics artist, he wrote and drew The Infinite Love I Have for You.

Fabio Moraes is an illustrator, painter, art director and comic historian. He was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1965 and studied drawing, painting and sculpture at the Liceu de Artes e Ofícios.
