Juanjo Guarnido

Guarnido was born in Granada, Spain. He studied painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Granada.{{citation needed|date=October 2012}}

Guarnido collaborated on several fanzines and produced work for Marvel Comics. Unfortunately, the small size of the Spanish market forced him to turn to other means of earning a living. In 1990, he left Granada and moved to Madrid, where he worked on a TV series for three years. There he met Juan Díaz Canales, with whom he discussed producing comics. In 1993, Guarnido applied for a job with the Walt Disney Studios in Montreuil, France and consequently moved to Paris.{{Cite web|last=Lambiek Comiclopedia|title= Juanjo Guarnido |url=http://lambiek.net/artists/g/guarnido_juanjo.htm}} He was the lead animator for the character Sabor in the Disney film Tarzan,{{Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120855/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm|title = Tarzan (1999) - IMDb|website = IMDb}} as well as the lead animator for Hades in Hercules and Helga in Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

After Guarnido left Disney, he reconnected with Canales. After contacting several editors, Guarnido and Canales finally signed on with French publisher Dargaud, and in November 2000, Quelque part entre les ombres (Somewhere within the Shadows) was published. It was a success among critics and the public, and won the Prix de la Découverte at the Sierre International Comics Festival and the "Avenir" Prize at the Lys-lez-Lannoy Festival, respectively in Switzerland and France. In March 2003, the second album Arctic-Nation was released. It was once again a success, winning the Prize Awarded by the Audience and the Prize for Artwork at the 2004 Angoulême International Comics Festival. The third instalment of the Blacksad series, Âme Rouge (Red Soul), was published in 2005. In 2006 it was awarded the Angoulême Prize for a Series.

In 2009 Guarnido teamed up with writer Alain Ayroles, who is known for two hugely successful BD series in France - Garulfo and De cap et de Crocs, to begin work on a 'one shot' project that resulted in the release of Les Indes Fourbes (The treacherous Indies) by publishing house Delcourt some ten years later, in 2019.Hulley, Bart. « A Picture Isn’t Always Worth A Thousand Words ». The Comics Journal (blog), 22 septembre 2020. http://www.tcj.com/a-picture-isnt-always-worth-a-thousand-words/. Billed as the second part of El Buscón (The Swindler) by Francisco de Quevedo, it is narrated by lovable rogue Don Pablos whose aim in life is to become a gentleman. Les Indes Fourbes starts with Don Pablos’ journey to the New World and the comedy of events that unfold.
