Ren Zheng-hua is one of Taiwan's leading comic artists. Born in Taipei in 1963, Ren began her comics career with the immensely popular Sea of Devil, serialized in Sunday Comics magazine, and later collected into a three-volume graphic novel. Incisively witty and tinged with dark humor, Ren masterfully weaves stories that span from the ancient to the modern, from the mythic and fantastic to everyday reality, often satirizing humanity’s capacity for both good and evil. Ren is also the founder of publisher BoHai Culture Co, and comics magazine Lotto. In 2007, her work was published in French under the title Le Fils, making Ren the first Taiwanese comic book creator to be published by Casterman. In 2021, Ren received the Special Contribution Award at the 12th Golden Comic Awards.
