Born in Saône-et-Loire, Cyril Bonin followed courses in Fine Arts in Mâcon, then studied Decorative Arts in Strasbourg and finally followed a one year DESS course focused on synthesis of images. He then worked for a small video production company for two years, while also doing illustration work. He made his comics debut at the publishing house Casterman with the 'Fog' series, a series about the crimes of Jack the Ripper in 19th Century London, which he made in cooperation with writer Roger Seiter from 1999 to 2004. In 2005, he illustrated the first album in Frank Giroud's 'Quintett', a series about a French unit in the Balkans in 1917, of which each episode is drawn by another artist.
