In 1959, while still a teen a. Rtist, illustrator Alex Ninos first comic stories. Combining the prevalent art style of the Filipino comics master Francisco Coching, along with further influences from his other contemporaries Jess Jodloman, Ruben Yandoc, Alfredo Alcala and Nestor Redondo, he was developing his own distinctive, ever-evolving, style.

Between 1959 and 1973 Nino worked almost exclusively with Filipino publications illustrating over 300 stories some of which would be made into popular Filipino movies. In 1973 he moved to the U. S where he has worked for every major comics publisher. Some of the classics he worked on were'Black Orchid','Captain Fear','Space Voyagers' the Sunday'Tarzan' strips, "Behold the Man" (written by Michael Moorcock, adapted by writer Doug Moench), for the comic magazine, The Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction, issue #6. Another incredibly well drawn story was the controversial, "Repent Harlequin, said The Tick Tock Man", written by Harlan Ellison.

Today, Alexander Niño is considered to be one of the best comics illustrators in the United States, if not the world. If he is highly rated by both editors and critics in the USA, he is higher regarded also by his legions of fans, among whom are American illustrators influenced by his unique style. Much of his artwork hangs at the Comics Hall of Fame in San Diego, California; and his name is listed in the Who's Who In Comics, a publication of the American Comics Industry. In recent years Alex has worked for Disney on such prestigious animated features as Mulan, Treasure Planet, and Atlantis, the lost empire, as a conceptual artist, although he still continues to work in the comic book field as well, recent work can be seen in such titles as: The Orc's Treasure for iBooks, The Incredible Hulk for marvel Comics, and Frankenstein Mobster for Image comic.
