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 Diaz 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 Diaz Canales's wife Teresa Valero.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJuanjo Guarnido\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Granada, Spain, in 1967.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n                                        ","brand":"Dark Horse Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41734294470847,"sku":"9781506730578","price":38.68,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/products\/9781506730578.jpg?v=1655797269","url":"https:\/\/www.popweasel.co.nz\/products\/blacksad-they-all-fall-down-part-one","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
