David B Biography

Among the key authors of the world comics scene, with his unmistakable style that seems like a cross between Altan, Tardi and Prichard. Although he studied as an advertising graphic designer, in 1985 David B. began working as a screenwriter and illustrator for various magazines (Okapi, À suivre, Tintin Reporter, Chic).

In 1990 he took on an increasingly central role in the comics scene, thanks also to the founding of the publishing house L'Association together with Jean-Christophe Menu, Lewis Trondheim, Matt Konture, Patrice Killoffer Stanislas and Mokeït. Most of his works from the 1990s were published in the magazine Lapin, and then collected in the volumes Le Cheval blême and Les Incidents de la nuit.

Artist who rose to worldwide success following the publication between 1996 and 2003 of the autobiographical work "Il grande male" (published in Italy by the Coconino publishing house), which describes his childhood in relation to the illness of his brother, who was often affected from severe epileptic seizures.
