Grégoire Bouchard was born in Montreal in 1965. In addition to obtaining a diploma in visual arts in 1986, he studied graphic arts in Orléans, France. He has contributed to various magazines, including Iceberg, where he created Bob Leclerc, his retired war pilot character, in 1993. Grégoire Bouchard is fascinated by the world of the 1950s and the imagery it evokes, which colours his disturbing science fiction stories, steeped in a caustic irony: "Science fiction, unconsciously in my case, speaks of the era in which it was conceived, more than of the future." Jean-Paul Eid says of him that "he is to Quebec comics what David Lynch is to cinema. He is a unique author, reinventing science fiction in Quebec comics." He inscribes the territory there, making it fertile ground for the criticism of American values, of the patriotism that blinds us. His universe is rich, dense, and elaborate."
