They were both enthusiastic about reading, music, movies and comics .... Contact the group of theorists grouped around the magazine Bang! and soon authors move from comics readers. Young awareness-building with social and political reality, they realize that almost everything that was done in Spain in this area was outside the reality of country. In that sense one can say they were the pioneers of the political cartoon in Spain. Decide

In the cartoon, you could say there were 4 main currents: one, marked by a tendency to create a new grammar in this issue of the comics, this in many works of "that part and deal ..." and involves "Mesquite" (published in 1979 in western Street, the last thing you drew Saturio before to leave the team), also involves "Luis Candelas" (magazine Madriz, 1984) up to more recent works, such as the collective book "11 M.
