Having always been drawn to the world of children, Bénédicte Carboneill, aka Carbone, made the logical choice when it came time to decide on a profession, becoming a teacher. After joining the teaching ranks in 1995, she would go on to become principal before writing entered her life and quickly took over. Starting with publications on education ("La Classe Maternelle, " Jocatop/Bordas), she soon developed her own publishing house, Pas de l'échelle, which brought together comics and education.
Editor and author, Bénédicte began writing for young children and teenagers, including books published by various French-language publishers (Fleurus, Larousse, Mijade). In 2015, she tried her hand as a comics author with "Le Pass'Temps" (published by Jungle), taking on the pen name Carbone. She soon followed with "La boîte à musique" (Dupuis; "The Music Box, " Europe Comics), with Gijé, a hit adventure story that has already led to two more series with the same publisher: "Les Zindics anonymes" ("Snitches Anonymous, " Europe Comics) and "Dans les yeux de Lya" (Europe Comics 2019).
James Christ was born in eastern France in 1980.
A year and a half later his family moved to the south of France, where James has lived ever since. A self-taught artist, he was discovered thanks to his online presence, and he published his first two books with independent publishers YIL and Du Café sur la Planche, in addition to participating in a number of artist collectives. In 2019, alongside scriptwriter Carbone, he published the investigative adventure series "Les Zindics anonymes" with Dupuis ("Snitches Anonymous, " Europe Comics).
