Juan Carlos Ramis

Juan Carlos Ramis Jiménez is a Spanish comic book artist born in Chantada, Lugo in 1962.

[1] He started his career in the magazine Humor a tope of the publisher Norma with the series Dirty Pig, and adult comedy series about a horny anthropomorphic pig.

His first strips were Alfalfo Romeo (a cartoonish Romeo and Juliet parody with part of the strip in verse) for the magazine Mortadelo and Estrellito Castro (about a space explorer with a gun that can shoot everything from scissors to eggplants) for the magazine Superlópez.

For the Zipi y Zape magazine he created alongside Joaquín Cera[3] the series Los Xunguis, about a group of unruly aliens which have also appeared in several book-games.
