About The Author

Hubert was born in 1971 in Saint Renan and studied graphic arts in Angers where he was led into the wondrous world of comics. He started at first making a reputation for himself as a colorist but soon turned to scriptwriting where he established himself as a leading voice in graphic novels for an adult audience. Hubert thus spoke of anorexia, gender or even homosexuality in tales and stories that have become essential, such as Miss Don't Touch Me, Beauty (both from NBM), and A Man's Skin (ABLAZE). He unfortunately passed away, too early, in 2020.
