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).
Born in 1992 in Compiègne (Northern France), Justine Cunha has always been passionate about cartoons, manga, and comics.
In the end, deciding to start a career in animation films, she went to school to study cinema and illustration. She co-created the series "L'heure du conte" and then decided to pursue a career as an illustrator, working as a character designer for various animation studios. In 2018, she was found online by the scriptwriter Carbone, and together they created the series "Dans les yeux de Lya, " the first volume of which was published by Dupuis in 2019 ("Through Lya's Eyes, " Europe Comics).
