Tonči Zonjić is a Croatian comic book artist.

Career

Zonjić started out as an illustrator at the age of 15 and got into comics by creating a fanzine called Pipci! (Tentacles!) in 2004.[1] His first full finished book - an educational story about sea diving for kids that he colored and lettered himself - still hasn't been published since its completion in 2006.[2][3] In Croatia, he's been working on several projects with Darko Macan as well as storyboards, advertisements, book covers,[4] newspaper portraits[5] and various other comic strips.[1][6]

Zonjić entered the American market in 2008 as one of the artists for Marvel's The Immortal Iron Fist series by Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction.

Personal life

Zonjić currently resides in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1]
