Louis Rémillard is a comic book author with a long career. He began publishing in 1973 and has since produced a steady stream of works that range from humor to narrative exploration. In 2008, his book Voyage en zone d’exploitation earned a nomination for the Bédéis-Causa Award, and he received the Marc-Olivier Lavertu Award from UQO’s Bachelor of Comics students. Passionate about First Nations culture, he published Le retour de l’Iroquois (2016), which received three nominations for the Bédélys, Expozine, and Bédéis-Causa Awards, followed by Traces de mocassins (2020), nominated for the comic book award at the Trois-Rivières Book Fair. These stories are set in the era of New France and highlight little-known Indigenous historical figures, while also showcasing the vast North American wilderness. His latest album, Filles du Roy-Origines (2025), written by Dom Leblond, continues this historical theme in comics but in a completely different context: that of the women from France who immigrated to New France starting in 1663 and are considered the mothers of the Quebec nation.
