In fact the genre has acquired such a fetid reputation that I never consciously or unconsciously think of MAUS or CEREBUS as anthropomorphic at all and completely forget about Snoopy and co. There's quite a history of this in comics, with excellent results (MAUS, CEREBUS, PEANUTS), reasonable results (OMAHA THE CAT DANCER) and rubbish results (FURLOUGH, SHANDA THE PANDA etc.). Anthropomorphism is the term used to describe the attribution of human behaviour or traits to animals, objects or - it says rather interestingly in the dictionary - God. Please do not be derailed by my next five words: European, anthropomorphic, colour crime fiction. Here's what I came up with for the first book: His most recent work includes the ambitious Gentlemind, set in New York and spanning three decades (Dargaud, Europe Comics in English).Hot on the haunches of Bryan Talbot's GRANDVILLE comes an all-in-one hardcover of all three BLACKSAD books to date, the third being completely new to the US/UK market. He's also taken on the continuation of the adventures of Corto Maltese in collaboration with Ruben Pellejero. Since Blacksad, he's worked with numerous illustrators, including José Luis Munuera on his beautiful two-part series Fraternity (Dargaud, 2011). He now divides his time between his screenwriting for comics and animation, and supervising TV series and feature film animation. This got him started working with various European and U.S. Meanwhile, Díaz Canales pursued studies in the fine arts, then, in 1996, founded a company called Tridente Animation with three other designers. But that didn't stop them coming up with one of this decade's greatest comic book projects, the future Blacksad (Dargaud 2000, Dark Horse, Europe Comics 2016), a massively successful 1950s style detective series. Juan remained in Spain while Juanjo went to France to work for the Disney animation studios.
And that was that - he decided to make a profession out of it! At 18, he joined an animation studio, where he met Juanjo Guarnido, who soon became a great friend. He started reading comic books very early on, before getting interested in cartoons. Juan Díaz Canales was born in 1972 in Madrid, Spain.
