Patrice Pellerin

As the son of a French gouvernor, Patrice Pellerin spent his childhood in over twenty different towns. He eventually settled in Landivisiau, a town that gave him the setting for his future comics. He worked at an animation studio for a while, until he devoted his time to illustrating for the publishing houses Ouest-France and Hachette from 1977. In 1982, he made his comics debut by taking over the series 'Barbe-Rouge' after the death of Jijé. After two episodes of this classic pirate series, he began a collaboration with Jean-Charles Kraehn and wrote the first three episodes of 'Les Aigles Décapitées'. He eventually became an allround author, when he created the series 'L'Épervier' in the collection Répérages at Dupuis in 1994.
