• Stephen Desberg (auteur)

  Stephen Desberg was born in Brussels in 1954 and started out as a comic book author in 1976, writing short stories for Tintin magazine (Le Lombard). A follower of Maurice Tillieux, the creator of "Gil Jourdan," in 1980 Desberg began working for the weekly Spirou magazine (Dupuis), taking over the "Tif and Tondu" adventure series, illustrated by Will. He then successively created the characters 421, Billy the Cat, Mic Mac Adam and Jimmy Tousseul, before gradually moving to a more adult readership, publishing two albums in the Aire Libre collection by Dupuis, alongside Will: "Le Jardin des désirs" (1989) and "La Vingt-Septième Lettre" (1990). An original and versatile writer, Desberg goes from one genre to another with ease and inventiveness. In 1996 he tackled the topic of racism with illustrator Bernard Vrancken in "Le sang noir," a romantic saga in four albums published by Le Lombard. As an American citizen, Desberg has also explored many themes linked with his other home country, as evidenced by the long-running financial thriller "IR$" with Le Lombard, also illustrated by Vrancken. America serves as a backdrop in his other albums as well, such as "L'étoile du désert" (1996, Dargaud, 2016 Europe Comics, "Desert Star"), a twilight western created with Enrico Marini. Desberg is also passionate about religious themes, having collaborated with Enrico Marini on riddles of Christian origins in "The Scorpion" (2000-2014, Dargaud, Cinebook in English), a saga bursting with flamboyant heroes with capes and swords in eighteenth-century Rome. A writer as prolific as any out there, Desberg has authored many other series over the years, including "Cassio" (2007; Europe Comics in English 2018), "Miss October" (2012; Europe Comics in English 2018), "Sherman" (2011; Europe Comics in English), and "Golden Dogs" (2014; Europe Comics in English 2016), all with Le Lombard. Along the way, he also continued work on the saga "Black Op" (2005 Dargaud, 2015 Europe Comics), a series illustrated by his friend Hugues Labiano. His recent work includes the espionage series "Jack Wolfgang" (2017, Le Lombard, Europe Comics in English), together with Henri Reculé, centered on a whip-smart wolf who is both world-famous food critic, and secret agent for the CIA.

  Formé aux Beaux-Arts de Saint-Etienne, Francis Vallès fait partie de ces esthètes du réalisme traditionnel, toujours à la recherche de la case parfaite. Une quête qu'il entame réellement en 1983, lorsqu'il signe Simon Francoeur, sa première série de bande dessinée. Il adapte également de nombreux romans pour Je Bouquine. Cette première expérience lui permet d'affiner le style réaliste épuré qui fera de lui l'un des grands du franco-belge. En 1989, il débute aux côtés de Bocquet la série Dorian Dombre pour Glénat, chez qui il entreprend en 93 la grande saga des Maîtres de l'Orge avec Jean Van Hamme, laquelle lui apportera la reconnaissance définitive du grand public. Il entame ensuite la série Tosca avec Stephen Desberg. Ce récit dédié à l'évolution de la mafia sur le sol américain marque le début d'une fructueuse collaboration, poursuivie dans les pages de Rafales. Il retrouve aujourd'hui Van Hamme, aux côtés de Didier Alcante, pour les huit albums de Rani, grande fresque historique dont les paysages variés lui permettront de laisser pleinement parler son goût pour les décors.
