Yes, I was in New York for the Comic Con this October and, like many creators, stuff happened there. My first story involves Kabuki creator David Mack. David and I go way back. In 2001, I was running Comic Box magazine at the time, and we thought it was a good idea to bring himContinue reading “My NYCC anecdotes part I”

I usually don’t like French superheroes. I always believed that superheroes were an American thing and that every attempt to mimic our english speaking cousins was destined to fail creatively. But yesterday, I had an epiphany. Well, not really but something changed. I had lunch with my old friend Thierry Mornet and he offered meContinue reading “French superheroes can rock, you know?”

When it comes to my personal life, I may be very protective of some aspects, but I never forget to talk about my father, who passed away when I was 11 at the tender age of 34. You don’t have to be a shrink or Einstein to understand how it can impact someone’s life. ItContinue reading “Why I’m an orphan for the second time in my life”

And it all began on July 10th, 1998 with the publication of COMIC BOX#1. This coming week, COMIC BOX#84, the magazine’sContinue reading “Born into the 90s”

Especially when this movie is good (I think we had our share of bad comic book movies, don’t you think?). I remember theContinue reading “#2Guns… Lots of ammo!”

It would probably be sexist to say there are differences between male artists and female artists. But there are. I’ve been very lucky to work with some incredible artists, male or female. And don’t get me wrong, in the end, only the quality of the final comic book counts. But I find really interesting toContinue reading “Why I like working with female artists”

Désormais, mes posts seront la plupart du temps en anglais. Sauf exception. From now on, my posts will be written in english, except when they’re not 😉 So, I’ve been spending all my summer in New York. For a variety of reasons. The main one being I needed time away from Paris to write moreContinue reading “Random thoughts from across the ocean”

Après la dédicace “papilles”, nous avons migré de quelques arrondissements vers le centre pour nous retrouver chez Comics Records, excellente boutique vendant des vinyls, des goodies et évidemment de la Bande Dessinée, Américaine pour beaucoup.

Comme prévu, Nicolas Sauge (Néron) et moi-même avons démarré notre tournée promotionnelle pour la sortie de nos albums respectifs.
