Renée Stone - Volume 2 - The Red Sea Trap - E-book - Epub fixed layout

Julie Birmant was born in France in 1974. She would find her way to Brussels in college to study at the INSAS, an art institute where she studied cinema. There she created scientific documentaries as well as taking a leading role in the magazine "Alternatives théâtrales." After a trip to Japan, she then returned to France, where she worked for France Culture and became a playwright, writing for several theater festivals.
Her first graphic novel, "Drôles de femmes" (Dargaud), illustrated by Catherine Meurisse and released in 2010, is a collection of portraits of famous female figures. A few years later, Birmant joined with Clément Oubrerie to create the biographical series "Pablo" (Dargaud), recounting Picasso's childhood, followed by "Isadora, " which tells the incredible story of American dancer Isadora Duncan. Most recently, the pair published the adventure series "Renée Stone" (Dargaud, Europe Comics in English), which follows a young Brtitish writer as she travels to Ethiopia in 1930. Clément Oubrerie was born in Paris in 1966.
He first studied the fine arts in Grenoble before leaving for the United States, where he spent two years and published his first children's books. Back in France, his creative streak continued, with his illustrating dozens of books over the ensuing years, including the award-winning "Les Mille mots de l'info" with publisher Gallimard. His transition toward comics and graphic novels came gradually, with Oubrerie making his mark in 2005 with the first volume of the series "Aya de Yopougon" (Gallimard).
Over the years, he has accumulated a number of landmark titles, ranging from collaborations with Joann Sfar to, more recently, a series of biographical titles created alongside Julie Birmant. Their four-part series "Pablo" (Dargaud), recounting Picasso's youth, and "Isadora" (Dargaud) which tells the incredible story of American dancer Isadora Duncan, have become major references in the genre. Most recently, the pair published the adventure series "Renée Stone" (Dargaud, Europe Comics in English), which follows a young Brtitish writer as she travels to Ethiopia in 1930.
