Jacques Lob, winner of the Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême award, was Franco-Belgian comic book author, best known for his Superdupont series. He began his career as an editorial cartoonist, before an editor suggested he focused on his writing, which bore rich fruit across a number of genres. He passed away in 1990. Benjamin Legrand is the author of numerous thriller novels, screenplays, and comic scripts.
