About the artist
Juán Giménez
Juán Giménez was a master of photorealistic painted comic art, internationally celebrated for his science-fiction imagery. After a formative period in Barcelona during the 1970s European comics boom, he collaborated with writer Alejandro Jodorowsky on Les Métabarons — an epic space-opera published by Les Humanoïdes Associés — which became one of the most influential works in European graphic literature. Giménez’s technique combined layered mixed-media painting with cinematic composition, establishing a visual language that defined a generation of science-fiction comics.
About this series
Les Métabarons
Les Métabarons (1992–2003, Les Humanoïdes Associés) is an eight-volume space opera by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Juán Giménez, a spin-off of the Jodorowsky–Mœbius epic The Incal. Across generations of a cursed warrior dynasty, Giménez deploys a fully painted mixed-media technique of uncommon lushness, cementing the series as one of the defining works of European science-fiction comics.
