After getting his education at the Beaux-Arts in Lyon, Michel Duveaux went to Brussels in 1974 to follow courses in comics in Claude Renard's atelier at the Saint-Luc Institute.

He had a brief appearance in L'Écho des Savanes in 1978, and in that same year, he created 'Les Chroniques Provinciales' in Fluide Glacial.
