About the author
Bengal
300 books12 followersBengal is a French comics creator. Born in 1976 in the Rhône-Alpes region of France, he currently lives and works in Reims, in the Champagne-Ardenne region.
Bengal credits his father for introducing him to comics at a young age, with such classic Franco-Belgian titles as Les Tuniques Bleues (The Blue Tunics), Jérémiah, and The Scrameustache . A fan of both French bandes dessinées and Japanese mangas, his appreciation for these diverse styles is evident in his own work.
Before becoming a writer and illustrator of comics, he worked for four years at the video game developer Darkworks. He then worked at the French comics workshop L'Atelier 510 TTC for three years; it was there that he met writer John-David Morvan in 1996. He has since collaborated with Morvan many times: on the two-volume series Meka (2003–2005), the one-shot T.O.O. (The Only One) in 2005, and the five-volume Naja (2008–2011). In 2004, he illustrated the chapter pages for the first volume of Les chroniques de Sillage (The Chronicles of Wake), a spin-off of the Science Fiction series Sillage (Wake); the following year he illustrated the short story Double jeu (Double Game), written by series creators Morvan and Philippe Buchet, for the second volume.
In 2007, Bengal collaborated with comics creators Alessandro Barbucci and Canepa Barbara for a short story titled Like a Virgin, written by Barbucci, included in Sky-Doll: Spaceship Collection .
Bengal's first solo effort is the manga-inspired High Fantasy Luminae: La dame perdue (The Lost Lady), the first book in what is planned as an ongoing series, was published in 2011.
While much of his work has been published only in France, Bengal's short story Formidable was included in the first volume of the comics anthology Flight , published in 2004 by Image Comics in the United States.
