François Boucq

François Boucq made his debut in 1974 in the newspaper Le Point, by drawing several political caricatures. His first comic appeared a year later in Mormoil. In 1978 he created, together with writer Delan, a series of short stories which were published in Pilote, and reprinted in album format under the title 'La Vie, la Mort et Tout le Bazar'. He joined Fluide Glacial in the early 1980s with series like 'Rock Mastard' and 'Les Leçcons du Professeur Bourremou' in cooperation with Pierre Christin. From 1983 on, he published regularly in the magazine À Suivre. This work was later brought out in albums like 'Les Pionniers de l'Aventure Humaine', 'Point de Fuite pour les Braves' and 'La Pédagogie du Trottoir'.

Boucq collaborated with writer Jérôme Charyn on 'Bouche du Diable' and with Alexandro Jodorowsky on 'Face de Lune'. In 1995, Boucq created a series of short stories, centering around the theme of death, published in À Suivre and Fluide Glacial. His work has also appeared in several collective works. In 1998 he won the Grand Prix of the Comic Festival of Angoulême. In the late 1990s, he started the 'Jerome Moucherot series, about a leopardskin-wearing insurance agent. In 2001, he teamed up with Jodorowsky again to create the hard-boiled western trilogy 'Bouncer'.
