He publishes his series Slober in the magazines Star and Bésame mucho. He also made the cartel for "Pepi, Luci, Bom and other girls in the bunch" (1980), a film by Pedro Almodóvar.

In 1982, the Menéndez Pelayo University exhibited a sample of his work. Two years later, he became one of the best-selling authors of ARCO 84.
