Kid Toussaint, born in Belgium, is an author and translator who has also worked in the audiovisual sector. His specialty, it's safe to say, is comics, with an impressive and quickly growing collection of successful series. With Dupuis alone, his portfolio includes the collaborative project "Magic 7" (Europe Comics in English) as well as "Télémaque" ("Telemachus, " Europe Comics), a Homerian reboot created alongside Kenny Ruiz.
And in 2019, this list is set to grow further with "Kid Noize, " about the Belgian DJ phenom of the same name, and "Animal Jack, " bringing to life a young boy who just happens to be a shape-shifter, both published by Dupuis (Europe Comics in English). His most recent work with publisher Le Lombard includes the groundbreaking "Elle(s)" (Europe Comics in English), alongside artist Aveline Stokart; the fast-paced adventure series "Masques" ("Masks, " Europe Comics) with Joël Jurion; and the magical "Les Héricornes" ("The Unicorn Legacy, " Europe Comics) with Verónica Álvarez.
Born in 1975, Joël Jurion briefly studied in Angouleme before starting to work in the field of comics upon meeting Thierry Cailleteau.
Together, they created "Anachron" (Vents d'Ouest), a series that succeeded in blending sci-fi and humor. That was followed by "Les Démons de Dunwich" (Vents d'Ouest), alongside Steve Baker, and "Vegas" (Soleil), with Ludo Danjou. Joël soon proved to be an artist capable of creating rich and varied graphic universes, and his speed and skill allowed him to enter the world of animation as well, with the series "Le Petit Prince" and the feature film "The Prodigies." Returning to comics, he published the first volume of the adventure saga "Klaw" (Le Lombard) in 2013 alongside writer Antoine Ozanam, which quickly found an audience and has now reached the thirteenth volume in the series.
Joël's most recent work includes the fast-paced young adult series "Masques" (Le Lombard; "Masks, " Europe Comics), together with prolific writer Kid Toussaint.
