Arkas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Arkas (disambiguation).
Arkas (Αρκάς) is the pen name of a famous but reclusive Greek comics artist.
Arkas has seldom appeared at artists' conventions and generally avoids publicity and appearances on TV shows or interviews. He is quoted as believing that the artist should be known through his work, not through personal promotion.
His real name is also unknown. Arkas in Greek means 'Arcadian; someone from the province of Arcadia'. However the CamelCase style in which his name is written suggests that ArKas may be only his initials.
In 1997 Arkas was asked to design the logo of Thessaloniki when the city became the European City of Culture for that year.
Arkas has been translated into other languages and has became known outside Greece. Translations of his books can be found in English, French, German, Romanian, Spanish, Portugues, Italian, Bulgarian, Polish and Serbian.
