Interpol - Volume 1 - Mexico - La Muerte

Philippe Thirault was born in Paris in 1967. He spent five years at Sciences Po, France's leading institution for the study of political sciences, but left without obtaining a degree. It was clear that he was going to be a writer. Several novels - "Lucy, " "Hémoglobine Blues, " and "Heureux les imbéciles" - were published by Le Serpent à Plumes, and "Miss, " a comics series written in collaboration with Marc Riou and Mark Vigouroux, was published by Les Humanoides Associés.
Unrivalled as a writer of dialogue, he is equally happy writing novels and comics, whether crime fiction ("Agence Interpol: Mexico, " Dupuis; Europe Comics in English), westerns ("Mille visages" and "Lucy, " written with Marc Malès), social satire ("Mes voisins sont formidables" and "Vider la corbeille, " with Gnaedig), or even religious epics ("Le rêve de Jérusalem, " Dupuis; "The Dream of Jerusalem, " Europe Comics). Lionel Marty was born in 1971 in Aurillac.
As a child, he was already dreaming of epic adventures, and blackened the pages of his exercise books with legions of warriors. He wanted to become an artist, so he prepared himself by cultivating his art and misanthropy at the same time! He spent three years at the Duperré School of Applied Arts, where they attempted to instil in him the art of selling useless objects to strangers. With a diploma in visual communications, he preferred to return to his childhood passion and opted definitively for comic books.
He moved to Angers, where he met Eric Omond, with whom he created the series "Mort linden" (Delcourt). Then he went to live successively in Bourges, New Caledonia, Le Mans... and finally in Touraine where he currently resides. His recent work notably includes "Le rêve de Jérusalem" (Dupuis; "The Dream of Jerusalem, " Europe Comics), the type of sweeping epic he dreamed of when he was younger, as well as the crime fiction title "Agence Interpol: Mexico" (Dupuis; Europe Comics in English), collaborating with author Philippe Thirault for both.
