About this title

About the Author

Jacques de Pierpont, known as "Pompon" to fans of his radio show, is a former radio host and journalist. He's best known for his metal rock show, "Hell's Bells," which ended in 2015 with Jacques' retirement, which concluded his forty year career working for RTBF, the public broadcasting organization of the French-speaking Community of Belgium.

Hervé Bourhis is a French comic book writer and artist. His first book, the 2002 Thomas, or the Return of the Taboo, earned him the Goscinny Prize for best young comics writer. His work often references music and pop culture, which is the case with his series from the 2000s and early 2010s, which include The Stereo Club, with Rudy Spiessert; Comic Remix; and the Star Wars parody Naguère les Étoiles. He is perhaps most well known for his contributions to Dargaud's Little Book series, where he has written or drawn on subjects including rock music, The Beatles, comics, and the French Fifth Republic. In 2016 he released the superhero parody C.R.A.S.H. 
He received the Prix Jacques Lob for his body of work in 2010.
