Biography

Alex de Campi is best known for her 2005 graphic novel "Smoke" (published by IDW Publishing, art by Igor Kordey), which was nominated for the Eisner Award for Best Limited Series, [cite news| last = Weiland| first = Jonah| title = Chris Ware & Warren Ellis Lead 2006 Eisner Nominations| work = Comic Book Resources| publisher = Boiling Point Productions DBA Comic Book Resources| date = 2006-04-05| url = http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=7045| accessdate = 2008-03-09] and her 2006 manga series "Kat & Mouse" (published by Tokyopop, art by Federica Manfredi). [cite news| last = Kean| first = Benjamin Ong Pang| title = Playing Kat & Mouse with Alex de Campi| work = Newsarama| publisher = Newsarama.com| date = 2005| url = http://www.newsarama.com/tokyopop/Kat/Kat_Mouse.htm| accessdate = 2008-03-09] De Campi's work falls outside the superhero genre, with "Smoke" being a political thriller, and "Kat & Mouse" detailing the adventures of two mystery-solving high school students (a "CSI for tweens"); she has published work for children ("e.g." "Agent Boo") and for the European market ("e.g." her French language sci-noir series "Messiah Complex").

De Campi has also ventured into filmmaking, directing a number of music videos, including the animated video for Flipron's "Raindrops Keep Falling On The Dead", which is to be featured at the 2008 Marfa Film Festival, [cite web|url=http://marfa.bside.com/2008/films/raindropskeepfallingonthedead_marfa2008|title=Raindrops Keep Falling On The Dead|work=Marfa Film Festival 2008|accessdate=2008-04-22] and for The Schema's "Those Rules You Made".
