Biography

Hérenguel made his debut in 1986 with the Jean-Pierre Croquet's short stories for Tintin magazine. When the Journal de Tintin publication ceased, he worked for two years at a publicist's. His work is clearly influenced by movies (mainly science fiction). His first series was Carnivores written by Jean Wacquet. He did the interior work on Ballade au bout du Monde (issues #5 to #8 written by Makyo). Later, he collaborated with Dieter on Les Mémoires d'Edward John Trelawnay, inspired by the real privateer Edward John Trelawny but in a science fiction universe with some fantasy elements. Then, in 1999, he created Krän ("crâne" which means skull in French), a series of fantasy comic books published in France by Vent d'Ouest. The series is a parody of sword and sorcery stories and specifically the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (Krän, the main character is a barbarian). Hérenguel's tongue-in-cheek sci-fi strip Kiliwatch which appeared in Lanfeust magazine was published in integral form by Editions Caurette. He currently works as a scriptwriter on the Wakfu series of cartoons for Ankama and as a draftsman for Delcourt.
