'Carmen McCallum'.
Born in 1961 in Rouen, Stéphane Gess eventually settled in Nantes. After some artistic jobs, Gess began his comics career in the Rouen fanzine Café Noir. He made his true debut with 'Teddy Bear' (1992-1995), published by Zenda. Olivier Vatine suggested that Gess started a new series in the Série B collection of Delcourt, and this resulted in the science fiction detective series 'Carmen McCallum', that he drew from 1997 to 2007.

In addition to this series, Gess creates covers and illustrations for the publishing house L'Atalante, and cooperates on the comic series 'Ultima Parano' with fellow artist Steph and writer JB. He is also the scriptwriter of the series 'Kazandou', drawn by Humbert Chabuel. In 2009 and 2010, he drew 'La Brigade Chimèrique' from scripts by Serge Lehman and Fabrice Colin for the publisher L'Atalante. He drew an installment in the collective series 'Jour J' (2011), by Jean-Pierre Pécau, Fred Duval and Fred Blanchard.
