Christophe Blain (*10.8.1970, Gennevilliers, France) is one of France's most renowned comic authors and an exceptionally versatile artist who masters all tonalities between sparse, quick ink drawing and subtly impasto painting. His typical figurative and perspective exaggerations, developed from his great drawing skills, lend his panels a captivating vitality and dynamism.
After his early series "Isaac le pirate", "Socrate le demi-chien" and "Gus", published by Éditions Dargaud, attracted a great deal of attention, he surprised readers in 2010 with the first part of "Quai d'Orsay", in which he reworked the memoirs of a former advisor to Dominique de Villepin about his turbulent time at the French Foreign Ministry into a biting political satire that was unflattering to the foreign minister's alter ego. The book became a bestseller and was made into a film by Bertrand Tavernier in 2013.
