Mathieu Mariolle was born in Paris in 1978, and has been passionate about comics ever since his father slipped a ‘Blueberry’ into his hands when he was a kid.
After a few years working in the field of video games, heading up a translation department, he began to focus on writing comics. Influenced by authors as varied – and accomplished – as Jean-David Morvan, Xavier Dorison, Luc Brunschwig, Naoki Urasawa, and Fabien Nury, Mariolle has created a number of series from vastly different genres, ranging from thrillers and science-fiction to children’s and adventure stories. His recent work includes ‘Nola’ (Dargaud 2015) with Flaviano, and the magnificent two-part mini-series ‘Blue Note’ (Dargaud 2013, Europe Comics in English 2017), with Mikaël Bourgoin.
