Montevideo Comics is an organisation devoted to the development of comic strips, cartoon films and other related activities.
AC/E is collaborating in the 21st event through the mobility grants awarded under the PICE by supporting the participation of Miguelanxo Prado, one of Spain’s greatest comic strip artists.
The activities in which the artist will be involved at this year’s event include an exhibition of his works and several talks and meetings with readers and the general public.
Miguelanxo Prado is a Spanish comic and cartoon artist who started out on the fanzine Zero along with other reputed artists of his generation, such as José María Beroy, Pascual Ferry, Antoni Garcés, Das Pastoras and Mike Ratera. Following the boom in adult comics, his work was published in the best magazines of the day, such as Creepy, Comix Internacional, 1984, Zona 84, El Jueves, Cairo and Cimoc. "Fragmentos de la Enciclopedia Délfica", "Stratos", "Crónicas Incongruentes", "Quotidiania Delirante" and "Tangencias” date from this period.
At the beginning of the 90s, his output became smaller and he designed TV cartoon characters for televisión de Galicia’s programme Xabarín Club and for the Men in Black series produced by Steven Spielbergin the United States. In 1995 he illustrated Perigo Vexetal, a children’s book by Ramón Caride, who received the Merlín award that year. Since 1998 he has directed the comic fair Viñetas desde el Atlántico in the city of La Coruña.
In 2005 he published an adaptation of chapter 64 of the second part of Don Quixote in the collective work Lanza en astillero. In 2006 he presented "De Profundis", his first animated feature film. In 2012 he published the graphic novel Ardalén, which won the most important prizes in the sector, including the Spanish national comic award.
