Emmanuel Guibert

Emmanuel Guibert (b. 1964) is one of the most respected French comics artists and the recipient of the René Goscinny Prize for screenwriting. He graduated from the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. In 1994, a chance meeting between Emmanuel and American World War II veteran Alan Cope marked the beginning of a close friendship and the creation of the graphic novel Alan's War, which won the Grand Prix of the French Critics and Journalists Association for Comics. Together with Frédéric Lemercier, Emmanuel also created the award-winning graphic novel The Photographer, translated into dozens of languages, which tells the story of Médecins Sans Frontières’ mission in 1980s Afghanistan through the eyes of the great reporter Didier Lefèvre. He is the “father” of the children’s comic series Ariol. Source
