To keep in mind

Philippe Druillet is a French comic book artist and writer, born in 1944 into a family with a heavy political background. He discovered science fiction and 1930s cinema, which shaped his artistic identity. His first comic book, "Le Mystère des abîmes" (1966), introduced Lone Sloane, his iconic hero. Druillet revolutionized comics with "La Nuit," a dark and innovative work, deeply personal, marked by his suffering and unique style. Later, he adapted Flaubert's "Salammbô" and diversified his talents in animation, film, and rock opera, asserting his status as an eclectic and visionary artist.
