Corbeyran was born in Marseille 1964, and now lives and works in Bordeaux. After dabbling in photography, children's stories and advertising, he turned his attention once and for all to scriptwriting for comic books. He has since published around forty titles for various different publishers, among which Dargaud, Delcourt and Casterman.
Insatiably curious, and a lover of images and anecdotes, Corbeyran is interested in a huge variety of subjects and has worked in all sorts of different genres: fantasy, history, thrillers, adventure, crime...
You name it, he's done it.
From his regular collaborations with Berlion, Falque and Guérineau came certain titles that today have become an integral part of the Franco-Belgian comic book landscape, such as "Le Cadet des Soupetard, " "Sales mioches!", "Le Fond du monde" and "Le Chant des Stryges."
In 1999, Corbeyran authored a new album in the Dargaud 'Long Courrier' collection, "Lie-de-vin, " which was nominated for the Alph'Art award for best album at Angoulême the following year.
In the years to follow, he showed his full range with Dargaud, putting out the fantasy series "Nanami" (Europe Comics 2019) as well as "Okhéania" (Europe Comics 2017), the latter set in a land where the ocean is a great sea of leaves.
His most recent work includes the drama "Le Maître chocolatier" (Le Lombard; "The Master Chocolatier, " Europe Comics 2019), alongside Bénédicte Gourdon and Denis Chetville.
Born in 1970, Amélie Sarn spent most of her time as a child climbing trees, reading, and dreaming of being a writer. While studying English and Spanish, she dabbled in different jobs: camp counselor, technical translator, caretaker for disabled people, journalist.
Now she lives in Bretagne, where she stopped climbing trees but she's still passionate about reading and writing. She has written several children's books, including "Coupable d'être innocent" (Rageot), "Un Fantome très rigolo, " and "La Nuit de la chauve-souris" (Milan). For the same publisher, she co-wrote "Le Cirque Patatrac" and "Un petit garçon trop pressé, " under the pen name Méli-Marlo. She also worked on the famous animated feature "The Triplets of Belleville." In 2002, she published her first novel, "Elle ne pleure pas, elle chante" (Albin-Michel).
The series "Nanami, " illustrated by Nauriel and published by Dargaud (Europe Comics in English), marked her debut as a comics scriptwriter, alongside Éric Corbeyran.
Born in 1981 in the suburbs of Lyon, Nauriel (alias Magali Lacombe) has always been passionate about drawing. In 1998, after studying literature in high school, she was admitted to the Emile Cohl art school. Four years later, having earned a degree in comics illustration, she entered the fanzine milieu and chose the pen name Nauriel (a reference to the Tolkien universe).
While she was taking part in several different projects, she met scriptwriter Éric Corbeyran at a festival in Chambéry. This meeting led her to illustrating the fantasy series "Nanami, " co-written by Corbeyran and Amélie Sarn and published by Dargaud (Europe Comics in English).
