Peines Perdues, by Jean-Christophe Chauzy
Jean-Christophe Chauzy worked the rock music press during the 1980s. He also teached drawing classes at an Applied Arts school. He made his album debut in 1988 with 'Vengeance', which was published in the collection X by Futuropolis. By 1990, Chauzy had already finished two other albums, but these didn't appear due to the folding of the collection. They were eventually published under the title 'Novice' by PLG ten years later.

Chauzy continued to cooperate with Futuropolis during the early 1990s, creating 'Bayou Joey', 'Les Écorchés' and ''Sans Rancoeur'. From 1992, he was present in the magazine À Suivre. He cooperated with Matz on several short stories, which were collected in the album 'Peines Perdues' by Casterman. In 1993, he made 'J'ai Tué mon Prof' with Mosconi at the publisher Syros. In 1995, he published 'Parano' at Casterman and made 'Béton Armé' in À Suivre. He also contributed to the alternative comics magazine Ogoun!. Also for Casterman, he produced 'Le Peau de l'Ours' in 1998, and created 'Clara' with Denis Lapière a year later. In 2000, he was present at Les Rêveurs de Runes with 'L'Âge Ingrat'. He also teamed up with the novelist Thierry Jonquet and adapted 'La Vigue' and 'La Vie de ma Mère' in 2001 and 2003.
