Emmanuel Lepage was born in 1966 in Saint-Brieuc. In 1983, the newspaper Ouest-France started featuring some of Lepage's illustrations. The same year, they also published the artist's first full album, La Fin du monde aura-t-elle lieu? , paid for out of Lepage's own pocket. Creator of the fanzine VOLAPUK , he had two albums of the Aventures de Kelvinn published by Ouest-France before he got his break with the major international comics publishers. In 1990, Le Lombard took on two volumes of L'Envoy� , written by Georges Pernin, based on Huguette Carri�re's novel. He and the writer Dieter then got the series Nev� into Gl�nat. With his elegant drawing style and remarkable gift as a colorist, he got the recognition he deserved when he joined the prestigious "Aire Libre" collection at Dupuis in collaboration with the writer Anne Sibran. La Terre sans mal reconstructs the lives of Amazonian Indians with incredible authenticity, as perceived by a French ethnologist while World War II was raging in Europe. He later continued with Aire Libre with the striking two-part series Muchacho . See less
