José Muñoz is an Argentine comics artist, born July 10, 1942 in Buenos Aires, and winner in 2007 of the Grand Prize of the city of Angoulême, for his cartoon Alack Sinner. More

When José Muñoz, born on July 10, 1942, was only twelve years old, he took lessons in sculpture, painting and puppet making in the workshop of Huberto Cerantonio and practiced with him in the puppet theater in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. He became the successor of Alberto Breccia at the School of Pan-American Art. His work was strongly influenced in the beginning by Hugo Pratt, whom he met in 1959. Alack Sinner was also influenced by American Film Noir.
In 1972 he had to leave Argentina for professional reasons. The military dictatorship that came to power in 1974 forbade him to return.
He went to London and then to Spain where he met Carlos Sampayo, also an exiled Argentine writer. The desire to work together arose immediately. Thus, between these two men there is a great and friendly complicity. Alack Sinner was born, in 1975, Sophie in 1978 and Le Bar à Joe in 1979.
