Joaqu�n Cera is a Spanish comic book writer more famous for his Pafman strip. He studied in the comic school Escola Joso and he began his career in the world of humor when he signed by Editorial Bruguera, where he started to draw cartoons in the Mortadelo magazine, that soon disappeared, along with the editorial. With the creation in 1986 of Ediciones B, that inherited the rights of Bruguera publications, Cera went on the payroll, beginning the most prolific period of his career as a cartoonist. Sometimes alone, with characters like Pafman or Dr. Pacostein, sometimes making tandem with Juan Carlos Ramis with characters such as Los Xunguis or some pages featuring the characters of Escobar Zipi y Zape, Cera was one of the authors with more collaborations in the Ediciones B magazines of the 1990s, with strips in the magazines TBO, S�per Mortadelo and S�per Zipi y Zape. In fact, the Ramis-Cera duet aptly complemented works of distinguished authors such as Ib��ez, Escobar, Jan or Raf.
