He studied under Hugo Pratt and Alberto Breccia, and worked as an assistant to Francisco Solano López. In 1972 he moved to Spain and then to Italy and began a collaboration with Argentine writer Carlos Sampayo which produced, among others, the detective series \u003cem\u003eAlack Sinner\u003c\/em\u003e and its spin-offs \u003cem\u003eJoe's Bar\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSophie\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as a comics biography of Billie Holiday.\n\nHis style is characterized by a sharp line, heavy chiaroscuro, and exaggerated, sometimes grotesque, faces and figures. His work has had a strong influence on Argentine Alberto Breccia, his teacher, also on British artists Dave McKean and Warren Pleece, and US artists Frank Miller (for part of his \u003cem\u003eSin City\u003c\/em\u003e style) and Keith Giffen.\n\nThe cartoonist and critic Scott McCloud, in \u003cem\u003eUnderstanding Comics\u003c\/em\u003e wrote that \"in José Muñoz's work, dense puddles of ink and fraying linework combine to evoke a world of depravity and morbid decay\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59642997047582,"sku":"REBJM","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/rebjm-rebellion-presents-jose-munoz-collection-book.jpg?v=1784512087","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/rebellion-presents-the-jose-munoz-collection","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
