In 1984, Étienne Davodeau started studying Plastic Arts in Rennes and co-founded B.D. Psurde, a small studio that published the collective album 'La Vie Mouvementée d'Ernest Formidable'. After several publications in fanzines, he created 'L'Homme Qui n'Aimait Pas les Arbres' in 1992, which was the first part of the trilogy 'Les Amies de Saltiel' and which heralded the new Géneration Dargaud collection. From 1994 until 1996, he worked on the independent "road comic" 'Le Constat', which was eventually published in the collection Long Courrier by Dargaud.

In 1996, he made the children's book 'Juliette Galipette' at Magnard, a publisher for which he also made 'Le Voyage Infernal', illustrated by Joub. From 1997, he published the largest part of his work at Delcourt, starting with 'Quelques Jours Avec Un Menteur' (1997) and 'Le Réflexe de Survie' (1998). He then created several detective comics, such as 'La Gloire d'Albert' (1999), 'Anticyclone' (2000), 'Rural' (2001) and 'Ceux qui t'Aiment' (2002). As a scenarist, he teamed up with Joub again and started the series 'Max et Zoé'. He also cooperated with David Prudhomme on a comics adaptation of 'La Tour des Miracles', a novel by Georges Brassens. He was also present at the publisher PMJ, with the autobiographical comic 'L'Atelier' (2002) and in the Aire Libre collection of Dupuis with 'Chute de Vélo' (2004).
