José Luis Munuera

José Luis Munuera is a highly prolific Spanish comic book artist and writer, born in Lorca, Murcia, in 1972. Renowned for his dynamic, expressive line work and masterful character acting, he is a major figure in the Franco-Belgian bande dessinée market. He is perhaps best known for his work on legendary European properties, including a successful run on Spirou et Fantasio and the swashbuckling series The Campbells. In Peter of Kensington, Munuera provides a poignant and visually stunning adaptation of J. M. Barrie's original mythos. Rather than the typical Disney-fied version, his work leans into the Victorian atmosphere and the bittersweet themes of childhood and loss, rendered in his signature high-energy, painterly style. His career is marked by a unique ability to bridge the gap between classic "Marcinelle school" cartooning and contemporary cinematic storytelling, making him one of the most sought-after illustrators in the European industry today.
