A scriptwriter for such acclaimed artists as Raymond Poïvet or René Follet, Rodolphe has collaborated with a number of great authors of the 9th art: Léo, Jacques Ferrandez, André Juillard, Annie Goetzinger, Max Cabanes, Griffo, Vink, and Michel Faure! Many times nominated in Angouleme and the winner of several awards, he has also written for younger readers, contributing to "Tom-tom et Nana" and even "Mickey." Aside from comics (numbering over 150 titles), he has also written YA novels and thrillers as well as books dedicated to rock music and the '60s.
His epic series "Kenya, " now in its third season, has sold over one hundred thousand copies, and he isn't slowing down one bit. His most recent work includes the sci-fi graphic novel "L'homme qui inventait le monde" (Dargaud; "The Man Who Invented the World, " Europe Comics), alongside longtime collaborator Bertrand Marchal. Bertrand Marchal was born in Belgium in 1974. He studied the arts at the École de recherche graphique (ERG) in Brussels, including courses focused on comics.
Marchal had the good fortune to learn under such talented artists as Alain Goffin and Olivier Grenson, and he soon began to create his own work, starting with a collaborative project as part of his studies. In 1998 Marchal set out professionally in the world of comics, contributing to "Spirou" magazine and illustrating the background art for the series "Charly" (Dupuis). He soon turned to creating his own series, from the trilogy "Les châtiments de l'an mil" (Glénat) to a long-running collaboration with the prolific writer Rodolphe, including seasons two and three of the cult classic "Kenya" (Dargaud).
His most recent work includes the sci-fi graphic novel "L'homme qui inventait le monde" (Dargaud; "The Man Who Invented the World, " Europe Comics).
