Javier Pulido is a Spanish
comic book artist working primarily for the American market. His notable works include
Human Target ,
Robin: Year One ,

The Amazing Spider-Man .
Early life
Born in
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria , Javier Pulido was a fan of comics from early childhood. He moved to
Barcelona to study at the University of Fine Arts.
[1] Pulido was part of the second big wave of Spanish authors who introduced themselves on the American market in the 1990s, together with
Germán García and
Kano (following the example of the "first wave" formed by
Carlos Pacheco ,
Salvador Larroca and
Pasqual Ferry some years earlier). Pulido's style is heavily influenced by
David Mazzucchelli and
Steve Rude .
[2]
Career
While studying at the University of Fine Arts, Pulido started getting his first professional assignments, doing covers and illustrations for Marvel Spain.
[1] In 1996, he released Mentat , a four-issue miniseries which became his first and final work directly for the Spanish market. Less than a year later, he was contacted by
Marvel Comics and since then has been working exclusively for Marvel,
DC and its
Vertigo imprint.
