Grégoire Bouchard was born in Montreal in 1965. In addition to obtaining a degree in fine art in 1986, he studied graphic design in Orléans, France. He has contributed to various magazines, including *Iceberg*, where in 1993 he created Bob Leclerc, his character of a retired fighter pilot. Grégoire Bouchard is fascinated by the world of the 1950s and the imagery associated with it, which he weaves into his unsettling science fiction tales, rooted in a biting sense of irony: ‘Science fiction, unconsciously in my case, speaks more of the era in which it was conceived than of the future. ” Speaking of him, Jean-Paul Eid states that he “is to Quebec comics what David Lynch is to cinema. He is a unique author who is reinventing science fiction in local comics. He embeds the territory within it, turning it into fertile ground for a critique of American values and the patriotism that blinds us. His universe is rich, dense and meticulously crafted.”
