Alain Dodier

Born in Dunkerque, Alain Dodier began his career in the fanzine Falatoff and in the Carte Blanche section of Spirou. Dodier made his professional debut in the magazine Pistil in 1977 with the police series series 'Janotus, Agent Spécial' and the animal gag series 'Marty et Titine'. In 1980, he teamed up with the scenarist Pierre Makyo to start the humorous historical series about the melancholic 'Gully' in Mercredi and later Spirou. Dodier and Makyo also created comics together for Djin and Tintin, such as 'Suzy la Petite Fourmi' and 'Léopold et Capucine'.

Dodier began the series about the clumsy detective 'Jérôme K. Jérôme Bloche' in Spirou in 1982. The first stories were created in cooperation with the writers Makyo and Serge Le Tendre, but Dodier continued the series on his own later on.
