In a quarter of a century he provided the art for around three hundred issues of Commando, for which he still continues to work (as of December 2020).

Pino began his career at the age of 14, when he was paid for art he had submitted to Spanish comic Pumby.

Pino regularly collaborated with Vicente Alcazar under the collective pseudonym "Carvic", working for Spanish war comic Chío and later for British comics War Picture Library and TV Century 21, illustrating Star Trek, The Saint, and Department S. In 1974 they began working for US comics, including Monsters Unleashed, Archie's Madhouse, and Space: 1999.

When their partnership ended, Alcazar continued to work for US comics, while Pino returned to UK comics, notably illustrating the strip Johnny Red in Battle Picture Weekly.

He later illustrated Judge Dredd for the Daily Star newspaper (1991–96), although never for that strip's home comic.
