THE EVOLLUTION OF AN ARTIST

ENKI BILAL WAS BORN IN YUGOSLAVIA, AND, AS A YOUNG CHILD, MOVED TO PARIS WHERE HE WENT ON TO BECOME ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST TALENTED GRAPHIC ARTISTS. BILAL’S GRAPHIC NOVELS HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN MORE THAN FIFTEEN LANGUAGES AROUND THE WORLD, AND ARE ALL BEST SELLERS.

THESE SCIENCE FICTION STORIES SHOWCASE HIS EARLY CAREER FROM 1972 TO 1981 AS HIS STYLE AND VOICE EVOLVED AND HE WENT FROM FLEDGLING ARTIST TOINTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR.

COLLABORATING WITH A NUMBER OF WRITERS, INCLUDING JEAN-PIERRE DIONNET (EXTERMINATOR 17, METAL
HURLANT), BILAL WRITES AND ILLUSTRATES A SERIES OF SHORT STORIES THAT DEPICTS SURREAL AND FANTASTIC
WORLDS WITH A SCI-FI TWIST.
