Biography[edit]
Özüduru has been writing and drawing professionally since his debut in the monthly comics magazine Rodeo Strip in 2005. He is known to his fans as "The Dreamcather". His most notable work is the graphic novel Zombistan, written in 2009. It has been translated into English and later into French. [1] The book is notable for being the first authentic graphic novel by such a young comics creator. Cem Özüduru was interviewed by Hürriyet as the youngest comics author right after the publication of Zombistan. In the interview, he says that fear has always been a part of his life. [2]
The story of Zombistan is set in Istanbul in the present (late 2000s) and is about a group of people who find themselves amidst a large scale zombie invasion. The story actually deals with many issues on Turkey's political agenda through characters who have diverse comments on their primal goal – to survive.
In 2010, he wrote his second comic: Şafak Ayazı, followed by Bir Zaman Sahalarda (2014). In the same year, Baskın, a horror movie written by him and directed by Can Evrenol was released. Later, the second movie written by him, Housewife was released at the same as his fourth comic album Perihan. In 2017, he wrote and directed a Turkish TV-Serie called Börü. A year later he wrote and directed a movie with the same name. [3]
His comic Perihan was published with the name Ağzı Olmayan Kız as a movie in 2019. He continues to write movies and comics.
Cartoons by Özüduru appear in the pages of Altyazi, a monthly movie magazine. With texts by Murat Mihcioglu, this illustrated department of the magazine hosts an uncommon form of movie criticism, one that involves mostly humor.
