Brian the Brain

Brian the Brain, a Spanish comic series from Ediciones La Cúpula launched in 1995, follows the surreal, often absurd adventures of its titular character—a disembodied, hyper-intelligent brain living in a jar. Created by writer and artist Miguel Ángel Martín, the series explores darkly comedic themes of technology, identity, and existential dread through a distinctive, minimalist art style. With only eight issues published over the decades, it remains a cult favorite for its sharp, transgressive humor and its place in the underground European comics scene.
