Miguel Ángel Martín is a Spanish comics artist known for his bold linework and unflinching explorations of cyberculture, body horror, and alienation. His controversial works, including “Psychopathia Sexualis” and “RubberFlesh”, examine techno-paranoia and perversion with surgical precision, often pushing against societal taboos and censorship. Martín’s aesthetic fuses clean, almost clinical visuals with deeply transgressive subject matter, creating a friction that challenges and provokes. His work has been banned and celebrated in equal measure, marking him as a radical voice in European comics. Through visual shock and conceptual rigor, Martín dissects the grotesque undercurrents of modernity.

1997 Brut Comix Miguel Ángel Martín

Brian the Brain follows a telepathic boy with an exposed brain, the result of genetic experimentation. Created by Miguel Ángel Martín, the story unfolds in a cold, dystopian world where scientific progress overrides ethics. Brian, gifted yet alienated, navigates a life of isolation, medical exploitation, and cruelty, raising unsettling questions about childhood, technology, and control. Rendered in Martín’s stark, clinical linework, this Brut Comix edition delivers a disturbing, thought-provoking take on the intersection of innocence and scientific ambition. A chilling masterpiece of underground European comics.
