Joann Sfar

Bestselling French author of The Rabbi's Cat (Pantheon), Sfar is also successful in movies having directed the biopic of singer Serge Gainsbourg. Dungeon is a work of close collaboration both in story and art between him and Trondheim. One of the founders of L'Association in France which turned comics publishing there on its head, Lewis Trondheim is a prolific and incredibly imaginative creator in comics. From wordless strips like Mr. O to the darkly tongue-in-cheek loving spoof of heroic fantasy Dungeon which he co-writes with Joann Sfar, his breadth of contribution to comics is staggering. He's also known for McConey Rabbit, A.L.I.E.E.E.N. and other goofy kids comics and heads a very unusual imprint called 'Shampoing' in one of France's largest publishing companies, where he continues to expand this art form's horizons.
