Nick Manabat

Nick Manabat (2 September 1972 – 5 November 1995) was a Filipino American comic book artist. He lived and was educated in Brisbane, Australia from 1983 to 1990. Nick co-created Cybernary with writer Steve Gerber in 1992 for Wildstorm Productions. His illustration technique was marked by bold use of blacks in a heavy metal style.

Cybernary was launched as a back-up story to Jim Lee's hugely successful Deathblow comic series, but Manabat's blossoming career and life were cut short after losing his fight against Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1995.
