In the early ’90s, Cruz joined Art \u0026amp; Comics   International, an association that introduced a stable of talented Brazilian   artists to the American comics scene. Cruz’s work was soon seen in dozens of   Marvel titles, including Generation X, X-Factor,   Uncanny X-Men, X-Man and   Ghost Rider. Cruz’s career reached a highpoint in   1995 with the release of X-Men Alpha, a one-shot that became the highest-selling comic book of the   year for Marvel Comics. With more than one hundred Marvel comics to his   credit, in 1997 Cruz focused his attentions to launching The Comic Book   Factory (Fábrica de Quadrinhos), a Brazilian art school and studio dedicated   to educating a new generation of comic-book artists. After a two-year   teaching run, Cruz made his long-awaited return to American comics with a   revival of Amazing Fantasy, featuring a new teenaged Latina heroine, Araña.
