About the Author
Since Camille Jourdy finished her education in Fine Arts, this French author divides her time between her works as illustrator of children´s books and her true passion: comic creation. Her very first contribution to the graphic narrative world takes place in 2004, when her first comic is published; Une araignée, des tagliatelles et au lit, tu parles d´une vie. This work shows a firm experimental vocation, where Jourdy plays with the narrative possibilities of the media. After some years devoted to producing children´s works, the author in parallel dedicates part of her time to the creation of her most ambitious work: Rosalie Blum. In 2007, the first volume of the trilogy is published in France. And it is finished by the launching of the third volume of the series two years later. As a whole, Rosalie Blum is enthusiastically received by critics and audience. Many awards, among which the critics´ award in France and the new writer´s award in the Angoulême festival can be stressed, bear correspondence to the succeed of this work.
