Cédric Asna, better known as Ced, is from Toulouse, France. He grew up with heroes from comics series such as "Tintin" and "Astérix." In 2005 he started to share his comics online on his personal blog. His drawings first attracted the attention of Internet users, then the attention of publishers. Shortly after being spotted by the creators of 30joursdebd.com, he signed his first comic book deal with the French publisher Makaka.
In the years since, he has created numerous other comics, either alone or alongside other artists and writers. In 2021 Ced entered the Dupuis catalog along with Waltch and Gorobei, with the youth series "Lolicornes" (Dupuis 2021; "Loonicorns, " Europe Comics), a hilarious reflection on inequalities in today's society filled with adventure and mythical creatures.
Gorobei is from Brittany (France).
He traveled a lot during his youth, including eight years in Africa before returning to France, followed by three years in Singapore, before finally landing in Toulouse. In 2006 he decided to give his passion a chance by studying the applied arts for a year at the Pivaut School in Nantes. After working hard to make a place for himself in the comic book market, he asserted his style and finally got his first job.
Starting in 2008, he began working as an illustrator for DofusMag, Wakfu Mag, Tchô Mag, and many others. He also contributed to the website "30 jours de BD, " through which he developed "Square & Soup" (published by Atypique Éditions), alongside Damien Gay. This allowed him to be approached by Makaka Éditions and Shuky, with whom he created his first book in 2012 ("Pirates, Diary of a Hero"), and with whom he continues to collaborate on various works.
He succeeded in making a place for himself at Dupuis with "Bushido" (Dupuis 2019) and "Lolicornes" (Dupuis 2021; "Loonicorns, " Europe Comics), in collaboration with Ced and Waltch.
Waltch was born in 1984 in the Vosges, in eastern France. Inspired by "Spirou" magazine, an essential part of the French-speaking comics landscape, he studied art at the Saint-Luc Institute in Tournai (Belgium). His influences go from Franquin to Toriyama.
His first book, "Ecolo Attitude, " was published by Makaka Éditions in 2008. In his works, Waltch shows a solid talent for setting the scene, accomplished through a humorous style. In 2021 Waltch joined the Dupuis catalog alongside Ced and Gorobei. Together they created the series "Lolicornes" (Dupuis 2021; "Loonicorns, " Europe Comics), a hilarious reflection on inequalities in today's society filled with adventure and mythical creatures.
