Francisco Alcázar was born in Cádiz in 1970, although he grew up in Barcelona. He began to draw for fanzines in the early 90's with stories of black humor very wild that were compiled in The Lovesucks Experience (Monograph, 1994) and Escarba, escarba! (Subterfuge, 1997). Then he changed records to keep counting equally nice things on Because You Like (Subterfuge, 1999), Mold (Double Dose, 2000) and Everything is Lost (Double Dose, 2001). In 2002 he founded with Miguel Bunez the comic magazine Recto, which Miguel Brieva would later join, and of which they published three issues, the third of them with Astiberri. From 2005 to 2014 he collaborated weekly in El Jueves, drawing the stories of Silvio José, the good parasite, of which Astiberri has published until now five volumes: Silvio José, Pharaón (2012), Silvio José, Destronado (2013), Silvio José , Enamorado (2014), Silvio José, Emperor (2015) and Silvio José, Rescatado (2015). After leaving the magazine after an episode of censorship, he regularly collaborates in the monthly digital Pride and Satisfaction, where, despite making new series, Silvio José has surreptitiously reappeared. His work has appeared in publications such as The Viper, Straight, Blab !, NSLM, El Pais Semanal, Manglar, 40, Rolling Stone, MAN, Cinemanía or Rockdelux. His latest books are The Manual of My Mind (Mondadori, 2008), a selection of his work between 1997 and 2007, Free Damage (Diábolo, 2010) and an anthology of his earliest short stories, The Dream Industry !, 2012) and The dream industry 2. Pure formula! (Caramba !, 2016), which collects jokes published in the magazine Cinemanía.
