José Luis Martínez-Larraz Solís, aka Pepe Larraz, is one of the most outstanding superhero comic writers of his generation. Born and based in Madrid, his bibliography includes his already legendary work on X-Men and the Marvel Comics miniseries House of X.
Trained in sculpture at the School of Arts No. 1 “La Palma” and in art history at the Complutense University, both in Madrid, Pepe Larraz began his career as a fanzine artist and made his debut as a professional comic artist in 2003 with Cristi y sus movidas (Cristi and her issues). Later on he became published regularly in magazines, newspapers and collective projects such as Diez Dedos, Barcelona TM, Cuentos del fin del mundo, Arruequen or Lunático, among others.
In 2010 he made the leap to the US market with New Avengers: Luke Cage. It would be the beginning of a meteoric career at Marvel, followed by acclaimed works in The Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, The Mighty Thor, Wolverine and the X-Men, Star Wars: Kanan and The Last Padawan, among others.
Thanks to these successful works, in 2018 Pepe was selected as one of six artists in Marvel's Young Guns Program, which highlights the comics industry's best up-and-coming artists.
Alongside Jonathan Hickman, Pepe has reinvigorated Marvel's mutant universe with his House of X miniseries. His most recent work includes Big Game, the first Millarworld crossover on Netflix that made history, and the Blood Hunt series, the Marvel event of 2024.
