Chauvel David

Born in Rennes on December 18, 1969, David Chauvel was unemployed when he discovered Alan Moore and David Lloyd's "V for Vendetta". A vocation was born: he would be a comic book scriptwriter or nothing at all! Helped by Lucien Rollin, he started writing on his own before joining the Atchoum studio (which had Fagès, Le Saëc, Bertho, Lereculey, Duval and Kerfriden in its ranks). He signed his first album, "Black Mary" (Glénat, 1993), at the age of 20 with Erwan Fagès, then he signed "Rails" (Delcourt, 1997) with Fred Simon. Numerous series followed such as "Les Enragés" (Delcourt) with Erwan Le Saëc, "Nuit noire" (Delcourt) and "Arthur" (Delcourt) with Jérôme Lereculey or "Octave" (Delcourt) with Alfred. In 2005, he became a publisher for Delcourt, launched the "7" series and published works such as "L'Homme Gribouillé" or "Come Prima", which won the Prize for Best Album at Angoulême in 2014. Since then, he has also written the series "Wollodrïn" (Delcourt) with Jérôme Lereculey, and more recently "La Route de Tibilissi" (Delcourt, 2018) with Alex Kosakowski.He also developed the WW2.2 concept series (Dargaud, 2012-2013), an alternative history around the Second World War. In 2019, volume 1 of the series "Le Masque aux mille larmes" (Dargaud; "The Mask of a Thousand Tears" Europe Comics, 2020) with Roberto Ali was released.
