Cédric Mayen, born in France in 1984, became an avid reader at a young age, with a strong interest in comics. At age ten, he discovered an entirely new culture upon moving to Italy, where he remained through high school. After graduation he returned to France, settling in Lyon, where he studied the theatrical arts and began to write and direct short films. It was after that that he turned to comics, undertaking a master's program at a Franco-Japanese school specialized in the "9th art." Just out of school, he published the first two volumes of the manga-influenced series "ElementR" (Vents d'ouest), and then his passion for traveling got the better of him.
He spent time in Brazil, Japan, and the UK before finally returning to France. There, he settled back into the world of comics, publishing the acclaimed graphic novel "Edelweiss" in 2017 alongside Lucy Mazel. His most recent works include the sorcery-infused "Devil on Her Shoulder, " created together with artist Sandra Cardona (Dargaud, 2023; Europe Comics in English), and the colorful "L'Arc-en-Cieliste, " created with Roberto Ricci and Laura Iorio (Dargaud, 2023; Europe Comics in English). Sandra Cardona is a Spanish illustrator living in Barcelona.
She began drawing at a young age, participating in numerous art contests, before going on to study at the prestigious Joso School, where she perfected her detailed style. Her passion for fantasy movies and architecture led her to create her first graphic novel in 2018, titled "Bouillon, " alongside writer Olivier Milhaud (Soleil). Then in 2019, during a residence in Quebec, she began work on "Devil on Her Shoulder, " a graphic novel infused with magic and sorcery, created together with scriptwriter Cédric Mayen.
The enhanced edition was released in 2023 (Dargaud; Europe Comics in English).
