José Luis MUNUERA is a Spanish cartoonist. Trained at the Fine Arts of Granada, he has a natural weakness for humorous drawing (he loves series such as Asterix or Spirou and Fantasio). Unfortunately, the Spanish Comics is more in line with the US Comics.
It was in Angoulême that he met Joann Sfar with whom he created two great series : Potamoks and Merlin. The last two volumes of Merlin will be written by Morvan who becomes Munuera’s new duelist !
After a foray into the fantastic (still with Morvan, but also with Philippe Buchet), he gets to resume the series Spirou and Fantasio, always with Morvan. Five albums (bringing a real freshness and a real modernity) will be born, until 2007.
Working notably with Juan Díaz Canales (screenwriter of Blacksad), then on a spin-off of Boule & Bill, he tackles in the late 2010’s a series on the character of Zorglub, always derived from the universe of Spirou.
