From Animation to Historical Comic Art

Born in Errenteria in 1965, Juan Luis Landa began his career in 1984 by illustrating the magazine Ipurbeltz. He then turned his attention to animation with the film Kalabaza tripontzia, directed by Juanba Berasategi, and to comic art with GABAI, Gure Herriaren historia (Lur, 1986), Ignacio de Loyola (Lur, 1990), and GABAI, Vascos ilustres (Lur, 1992). From 1992 to 1993, he illustrated the humor section of the newspaper Egin before making his debut on the European comic art market with El ciclo de Irati (Glénat Spain) and, later, El fuerte (Norma), both of which were translated into several languages. He then returned to his first passion, illustration, contributing to the magazine Euskal Herria (Sua edizioak) before embarking on the illustration of Nur (Erein, 2008–2012), a children’s book series written by Toti Martínez de Lezea that earned him numerous awards. He made a notable return to the world of comic art with Arthus Trivium, written by Raule, whose first volume, Les Anges de Nostradamus (The Angels of Nostradamus), published by Éditions Dargaud in 2016, was a resounding success. Starting in 2021, he brought the Chronicles of Roncesvalles to life as a writer and artist, a two-volume medieval epic retelling the saga of Charlemagne and Roland in Hispania, culminating in the Battle of Roncesvalles.
