Through the work of Jesús Martínez Del Vas, we travel through the pillars of the video game industry in Spain through its great stories and its small but very juicy anecdotes compiled in his recent book ‘Memorias pixeladas’ (Ed. Dolmen).
JMV was born in 1973. A cartoonist and architect, he won the prestigious J&B Joven y Brillante de Humor Gráfico in 1999. He became popular with his character Bok, the university Martian of the Gaceta Universitaria, and with his parodies of Tolkien's works such as El Jovit or El Señor de los Panchitos. He also dared to parody in comics the Star Wars film sagas with his Epichodes. He has worked for Marca, Popular Science, El Mundo, for Random House with the scripts of the character Cálico Electrónico, and currently publishes his cartoons in El Jueves. He has been a pioneer in the self-publishing of comics and in the use of platforms such as Verkami. He is the author of books on classic computing: El Mundo del Spectrum, La Aventura Colosal, Queremos Su Dinero (the novel biography of José Luis Domínguez, the man who brought the Amstrad brand to Spain), La Historia de Dinamic and Memorias Pixeladas. He collaborates as an article writer for the magazine RetroGamer, and for the portal 3DJuegos.com.
