Emma is a cartoonist based in Spain. She shifted her focus to a mix of both architecture and work with small press publishers until working on comics full-time in 2007. Having collaborated with publishers like Marvel and DC, she was able to commit to working on her own creator-owned comics again since 2013, thanks to Image Comics, where she co-edited ISLAND and created I.D., MIRROR in two parts: THE MOUNTAIN and THE NEST with Malay cartoonist Hwei Lim, and where she currently co-creates the critically acclaimed PRETTY DEADLY with Kelly Sue DeConnick. The latter earned Ríos several Eisner Award nominations and a win for Best Cover Artist in 2020.Her most recent graphic novel ANZUELO, a 300+ pages HC release that received a second edition in TPB format as of November 2025 has been Ríos' most obsessive work to date, with 4 years in the making. It was first published in Image comics and also translated to French and adapted by Ríos herself in Spanish.
As illustrator she’s worked for clients such as SIE, PRADA or Wizards of the Coast. She currently collaborates with Japanese brand TORCH TORCH with illustrations for official apparel tied to games made by From Software.
