Calpurnio Pisón was born in Zaragoza in 1959 and began his career in 1988 in the Infographics department of the
Heraldo de Aragón
.
From 1995 to 2001 he worked in the newspaper
El País
and between 2004 and 2015 in the newspaper
20 minutos
.
At present his works were published in the
Plaza Magazine.
In 2016 he won the Aragonese Comic Award in recognition of his entire career.
His best-known work is the comics of
El bueno de Cuttlas
,
a character he "killed"
on a couple of occasions but had to "resurrect" at the request of his innumerable followers.
The protagonist is a doll with
simple lines and naive style
, a cowboy transported to the present time with a very particular concept of life and human relationships.
His reflections are existential aphorisms.
All-round graphic artist, specializing in illustration for the press and promotional and advertising works related to the world of culture, Calpurnio Pisón considered himself a "cartoonist for comics and graphic press, illustrator, scriptwriter and director of cartoons, amateur noise musician and video jockey" .
One of his last works was the poster for
the Zaragoza Comic Fair
, which is held from December 16 to 18 in the Multipurpose Room of the Auditorium in the Aragonese capital.
