A Tale of Two Arthurs: Book 1

Born in 1981 in Aubervilliers, Nine Antico is an illustrator, filmmaker, and author of graphic novels. After creating her own fanzine, "Rock this way, " she turned toward media and then visual art. Her first, somewhat autobiographical work, "Le Goût du paradis" (2008), caught the attention of jury members at the Angoulême festival. She then published "Coney Island Baby" (2010), "Tonight" (2012), "Autel California" (2014), and "America" (2017).
She tends to depict vintage atmosphères taken from the second half of the 20th century, and is fascinated by scènes of the American underground. Her culture is one of rock-and-roll and the 80s and 90s. In 2019, she made her first feature film, "Playlist, " and wrote the script for "Il était deux fois Arthur" with artist Grégoire Carlé. Born on July 14, 1984 in Strasbourg, Grégoire Carlé is a full-time author of graphic novels and comics.
The suburb he grew up in, Illkirch-Graffenstaden, is known to French bande dessinée figures Blutch and Catel; perhaps this was a sign! He obtained diplomas from the Arts Décoratifs school in Strasbourg in 2007, and then began working with the independent publisher L'Association on the trilogy "Baku" (2008 to 2010), "La Nuit du capricorne" (2013), "Philoctète et les femmes" (2014) and "Trou zombie" (2018).
Grégoire Carlé is constantly experimenting with genres and styles, always surprising his readers by showing up where they least expect him. In 2017 he began collaborating for the cinema, and worked with Dupuis on "Il était deux fois Arthur" in 2019 (with scriptwriter Antico).
