Born March 21, 1969 in Chateauroux, Christophe Gaultier holds a diploma in visual communications. After ten years in animation and after having collaborated on the feature film The Triplets of Belleville, he decided to devote himself entirely to comics. He has accumulated an impressive number of graphic novels published with many leading French comics publishers. Joann Sfar is an artist, writer, and film director. He is best known for his adaptation of The Little Prince and his original bestselling title The Rabbi's Cat. Lewis Trondheim is one of the leaders of a new generation of comic artists bringing in novel ways of creating comics. He helped usher in much longer and sophisticated narratives in the graphic novel form. He is a leading author in Europe. Stéphane Oiry was born in Nantes on April 1st, 1970. The second joke he played on his parents was choosing to become an artist. And if the heart of comedy is keeping things "short and sweet," Oiry has continued to defy that wisdom by piling up an impressive number of publications over the decades. Oiry works in the fields of animation (The Fly from the silent comic by Trondheim), the press (contributing to Le Monde), and children's books. He has compiled an increasingly long list of full-length comic books and graphic novels.
