Our Best of 2023 interview series continues!
For those keeping score, currently, our "Best of" lineup includes The Giant Kokju, Blade, Gargoyles, and How I Became A Shoplifter. Now, we have another visual feast for you in the form of Astrobots from Massive. If you're a fan of mecha then I KNOW you're going to dig the art by Hector Trunnec.
Firstly, who are you and where do hail from?
I’m Hector Romero, or my pseudonym, "Trunnec." I’m a comic book artist from Spain.
How did you get into comic books as a fan?
The first comic I read when I was a child was Dragon Ball. My grandfather gave me some money to spend exclusively on comic books, and I chose that one. I was 7 years old. [I've been drawing comics since then]. After that, probably Akira influenced me the most to take [comic-making] seriously.
How did you get into art as a professional?
After doing lots of comics self-taught, I studied Fine Arts here in Spain. I have to admit that I learned nothing about comics there, but I learned other things which I probably will never use again [Laughs]. After finishing my studies, I decided to dedicate myself 100% to drawing comics, but before that, I had to do portraits, illustrations, and book covers. Then I started drawing indie comics.
What tools do you use to draw?
I use an iPad, watercolors, and a Cintiq. Sometimes my work is traditional, with watercolors. That’s always for covers or illustrations. For comic pages, I combine both worlds: digital and traditional.
What’s next for you?
I just started another comic book. Again, a comic with lots of mechs, but this time with human pilots.

Cover by Philip Knott, known for his work on IDW's Transformers: Last Bot Standing.
Simon Furman, writer of the original Transformers comic series and creator of Marvel's Death's Head,
has teamed up with Heavy Metal artist Hector Trunnec to create an all-new Mecha-Masterwork based
on the toyline designed by Aaron Thomas.
Pathfinders, Pioneers...breaking new ground in the furthest reaches of the galaxy...they are -
ASTROBOTS.
The clock is ticking for planet Earth and the race is on to find a new world capable of sustaining human
life. New, sophisticated machine lifeforms called Astrobots are dispatched to scout far-flung worlds in
the hope of crafting a new home. With food and raw materials running out and climate disasters
escalating, the evacuation of the entire human population is the only slender hope remaining.
On Colony World 1, a catastrophic power struggle forges a new - all-Astrobot - society, and presiding
over this nascent civilization is Atlas, an evolved mech with a futureproof plan. A plan that does not
include humankind.
