The Lorenzo Brothers – Robin and Lorenzo – are British comic creators with a longtime presence on the independent comic scene, creators of characters such as Malcolm Magic, Long Gone Don and Von Doogan. Their books have raised over millions of pounds on Kickstarter, and have been translated into eight languages.

(We previously noted their books were the most-funded art books on Kickstarter for three consecutive years: 2019, 2020 and 2021, and their book, How to Think When You Draw, Book 5, is still the highest funded comic project ever on that crowdfunding platform).
