Author(s) and Guest(s)
Guillaume Guéraud
Guillaume Guéraud began his career as a journalist, but found the constraints of the genre too restrictive. He is the author of the novels, Cité Nique-le-Ciel and Affreux sales et gentils, and his latest, Sans la tele (Without the Television). Because of his frank depiction of violence, his work has become controversial. Guéraud is also well known in France for his "autofilms," mini-films taken on his cell phone and posted to YouTube.
Stephanie Leduc
Les aventures de Titi Krapouti et Cie (The Adventures of Titi Krapouti and Company) is Stephanie Leduc's first comic book for children, in which Titi, a young delivery boy, sets out to follow in his parent's footsteps. Previously, Leduc's work has appeared in the Belgian magazine, Spirou, and France's Lanfeust.
Thierry Labrosse
Thierry Labrosse is a Montreal-based illustrator, painter and a story-boarder for many Canadian, French, and American television series. He also specializes in comic book art and graphic novels. His graphic novel, Ab Irato, is set in a ravaged and dangerous Montreal of the future, in which a tiny percentage of the population has access to the vaccine Rejuvenation, with the power to extend life up to 200 years.
