Born in 1971 in Quebec, Philippe Girard has edited various fanzines and comic book magazines. In his books, published by Glénat and various small presses, he blends his North American influences with a reimagined “clear line” style, inspired in particular by François Avril. His graphic biography of Leonard Cohen, published by Casterman in 2021, was a huge success.
