Miguelanxo Prado
Miguelanxo Prado (sometimes Hispanicized Miguel Ángel Prado ; * 1958 in A Coruña ) is a Spanish cartoonist.
Before Prado began his career as a cartoonist, he studied architecture and worked as a writer. He published his first drawings in fanzines . For his comics he uses the technique of direct coloring , in which the original is already created in color. According to Gerhard Habarta and Harald Havas, Prado, “ whose seemingly lovely pictures trigger nightmarish feelings when reading through the content and the removal of the line of flight ”, is “ probably the most important Spanish comic artist of the younger generation ”.
Prado influenced, among others, the Japanese comic artist Taiyō Matsumoto .

In 1990, Prado received the Max and Moritz Prize in the category of Best German-Language Comic Publications for The Daily Madness . In 2004 he received the Eisner Award in the Best Anthology category . At the 2007 Goya awards ceremony , Prado was nominated in the Best Animated Film category.
