Biography
Andy Bowe was born in 1950 in Newhaven, but he soon moved with his family in Noble City. As a kid, he showed interest in drawing and he was encouraged by both his parents.

As a student he attended journalism, but he never graduated. He opened a small publishing house in Madarin Village with his older brother, Lucas. By this period, Andy had been sketching a lot, without a complete story though. In 1974 he finished his first work, Monster Slayer, which was published as an album. Andy continued creating comics, all of which fiction stories.

In 1980, Andy moved to San Fransisco and later to Sacramento. He created many comic series for a local company, although none of them was a success. In 1981 he married Nellie Hume, a bank clerk, whose grandmother was from Lovia. In 1982 they had their first child, Margaret, and in 1986, Joanna. In 1990, Andy was diagnosed with a rare cardiomyopathy.

Andy moved with his family back in Noble in 2000. A couple of years later, he started Dracko, his first major comic, which was published in 2003. With Dracko Andy came to prominence. Losing no more time, he started The Adventures of Lionman, that immediately was successul. The series were completed in 2006 and Andy was now very famous. His good friend William Goodwin stated: "The Adventures of Lionman marked the birth of Lovia's comic culture".

In 2008, Andy began Eodre for the then recently established Horus Comics. From the very beginning, the response was tremendous and Eodre was to be Bowe's magnum opus. However, Andy never completed his work. He died in 2009 by a heart failure, which was caused by his disease.
