The Forest of Time - Volume 1 - Children of the Stone

Tristan Roulot is a French journalist and scriptwriter, born in Rennes in 1975. After obtaining a Master's degree in law, he left the judicial sector to devote himself to comics. He started his scriptwriting career with the humorous series "Goblin's" (Soleil), illustrated by Corentin Martinage, which has become a great commercial success, with more than 200, 000 copies sold. In Canada he met Patrick Hénaff, with whom he created "Le Testament du Capitaine Crown" (Soleil), a dark and violent two-part thriller.
The pair later joined with Philippe Sabbah for "Hedge Fund" (Le Lombard), a financial drama at five volumes and counting. Roulot has gone on to create "Irons" (Le Lombard, with Luc Brahy), set in Canada, as well as "Arale" (Dargaud, with Denis Rodier), which reimagines a Russia that never was, blending fact and dark fantasy into a spellbinding fable on the price of power. Most recently, he has devoted himself to the dystopian series "Le Convoyeur" (Le Lombard; "The Transporter, " Europe Comics), alongside Dimitri Armand, and the magical new series "La Forêt du temps" (Le Lombard; "The Forest of Time, " Europe Comics), with Mateo Guerrero. Mateo Guerrero was born in Cadiz, Spain, in 1976.
Gifted with precocious talent, he soon started producing comic books for publishing house Planeta-DeAgostini. His first title with them was "Crónicas de Mesene" (1998), then "Cazadores en la red, " a series he created for Idibus, a supplement for the daily El País. Following the example of many of his compatriots, Mateo Guerrero excels in many different styles, and his graphic culture draws as much on comics as it does on manga and the Franco-Belgian school.
He was rewarded for his eclecticism with a detour via the States, where he became the principle illustrator of the series "Warlords: Age of Ice, " for DreamWave studio. When DreamWave was forced to close its doors, Guerrero returned to the Franco-Belgian genre, producing "DragonSeed" (2006) for the publisher Humanoïdes Associés, with McClung and Jimenez. Having begun a collaboration with Le Lombard on "Beast" (2008) and then scripting and illustrating the fantasy series "Turo" (Le Lombard, 2011), he turned his attention to the artwork of "Gloria Victus" (Le Lombard 2014, Europe Comics 2017), accompanied by Juanra Fernandez.
His most recent work includes the historical fantasy saga "Jakob Kayne" (Le Lombard/Europe Comics), with writer Sylvain Runberg.
