After Guarnido moved to Paris, the two traded ideas about the project that became \u003ci\u003eBlacksad\u003c\/i\u003e, a series of graphic albums written by Díaz Canales as a 1950s noir. The writer now juggles scripting for comics and animation as well as directing for television. While \u003ci\u003eBlacksad\u003c\/i\u003e was Canales's first published comics work, he has collaborated with several artists, most recently with Antonio Lapone on the Eisner-nominated \u003ci\u003eGentlemind\u003c\/i\u003e, co-written with Díaz Canales's wife Teresa Valero. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJuanjo Guarnido\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Granada, Spain, in 1967. After meeting Juan Díaz Canales at the Lápiz Azul animation studio, Guarnido moved to Paris in 1993 to join the Walt Disney Studios satellite in Montreuil, where he worked as an animator.

The overwhelming success of the title has allowed Guarnido to take on other projects, like \u003ci\u003eSorcelleries\u003c\/i\u003e with writer Teresa Valero and the recent best-selling \u003ci\u003eLes Indes Fourbes\u003c\/i\u003e with writer Alain Ayroles.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 10.9 x 8.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 24, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e IndieFab awards (2012)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Will Eisner Comic Industry Award (2013)\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42701126139967,"sku":"9781595829313","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/ba7dcfe9c069c2117e2f1115d7152aa9.webp?v=1765019431","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/blacksad-a-silent-hell-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
