The Battle - Volume 3 - E-book - Epub fixed layout

This is not the first time that the name Frédéric Richaud, novelist and essay writer born in 1966 in the Vaucluse, has appeared on the cover of a comic book. He had previously co-written the series "Le Maître de peinture" with Makyo (illustration by Michel Faure, Glénat). He'd also adapted his own novel, "La Ménagerie de Versailles" under the title "Le Peuple des endormis" for the illustrator Didier Tronchet (Dupuis).
Last but not least, he published "La Prison" (Glénat), with illustrations by Sicomoro. Alongside these forays into the world of speech bubbles, Frédéric Richaud pursued a successful career as a literary man, which he began in the late 90s. He published several biographies devoted to the writers Luc Dietrich, René Daumal and Boris Vian and regularly worked with many magazines (Le Figaro, Le Nouvel Observateur, L'Echo Savannah ...) But it was with works of fiction that Frederic Richaud was later noticed: including "Monsieur le jardinier", "La Passe au diable" and "Jean-Jacques", all published by Grasset and translated all over the world. Patrick Rambaud was born in Paris in 1946.
As a young adult, he was rarely seen at his university in Nanterre, preferring the film library. In 1968, he then spent sixteen months in the Air Force, before leaving for the literary world. He then published his first rather quirky book and worked as a "rewriter" in a publishing house. In 1970, he ended up at the newspaper Actuel, with Jean-François Bizot and Michel-Antoine Burnier, where he stayed for fourteen years.
During his time there, he composed historical parodies and novels in collaboration with his cousin Michel-Antoine Burnier. They were published with Grasset, which was later awarded the Alexandre Dumas and Lamartine prize. He followed up with thirty more books on various subjects, parodies once more (under the pen name 'Marguerite Duraille') and novels (still published by Grasset and André Balland).
Meanwhile, he also wrote sketches and a show with Bernard Haller, that was put on at the Chaillot National Theatre, Fregoli, directed by Jérôme Savary. He also worked on two scripts by Jean-Pierre Mocky, "Les saisons du plaisir" and "Une nuit à l'Assemblée." Over a period of twenty-seven years, his own works and his work for others (because he's also a ghost writer), add up to no less than one hundred thousand pages...! Ivan Gil Fernandez est né à Getafe, cité industrielle de la banlieue de Madrid, où il a commencé ses études de biologie avant de choisir de se dédier à sa véritable passion : le dessin et la bande-dessinée. Une passion qui le mènera, dès 2002, vers le monde de la miniature, où il exercera pendant plusieurs années le métier de modéliste, concevant des figurines et illustrations pour diverses entreprises, principalement espagnoles. Au festival d'Angoulême 2007, il entre en contact avec les Éditions Dupuis, qui, intéressés par son sens du détail, le choisissent pour participer au travail sur l'adaptation de "La Bataille". Parallèlement à ces activités, Ivan Gil Fernandez est également professeur de dessin et bande-dessinée à l'Académie de dessin professionnel et d'illustration "Académie C10" de Madrid.
