- Direct: everything about the coronavirus
The Argentine comic artist Juan Giménez, known among other works for his collaboration with Alejandro Jodorowsky in the series La casta de los metabarones , has died at the age of 76 in Mendoza, his hometown, which he arrived from Spain, where he lived since over 40 years ago. Giménez developed the symptoms of the coronavirus during his trip.
In his youth in Argentina, Giménez had already drawn in comic magazines, but that career was interrupted when the cartoonist went into exile in Spain in the 1970s. Giménez settled in Barcelona and became a professional illustrator in the advertising sector. A few years later he resumed his vocation and began to publish his work in magazines in France, Italy and Spain .
Black Star (1979), A Question of Time (1982), Garbage (1988), The Fourth Power (1989) and City (1991) are among his most outstanding works. In short, they speak of a hyperrealistic illustrator dedicated to fantasy and science fiction stories and apocalyptic worlds of the future.
Therefore, it was inevitable that his career would intersect with that of Jodorowsky in the Metabarons , a series that at the same time referred to the world of Greek mythology and to a catastrophic future . The couple worked together for nine years, in 1992 and 2003.
