Carlos Sánchez grew up, with a pencil in his hand, in Barcelona. When he was very young a comic fell into his hand and that changed his life forever. He studied Design in EINA, and a master in Creative Illustration in Bau. He loves to draw, read comics, eat cereal and play videogames. Nowadays, he works as a designer, illustrator and comic artist in Barcelona. In 2025, his debut title, Rune: The Tale of a Thousand Faces, became the first graphic novel to win a Waterstones Children's Book Prize category award in the history of the prize.

Sanchez achieves a Ghibli-like world of wild imagination through his incredibly detailed illustrations, and the lilac and pink colour palette makes this graphic novel stand out.
