Nana», grand prix de la ville d'Angoulême en 2000, Florence Cestac, autrice à la fois pour adultes (Harry Mickson) et pour la jeunesse (Les Débloks), s'exprime dans un style graphique extrêmement dynamique, plein de dérision, inspiré des classiques de la bande dessinée américaine et caractérisé par ses fameux «gros nez» ronds

In the same period, she created the comic character 'Harry Mickson', who became Futuropolis' emblem and mascot, and pursued a career in comics in L'Écho des Savanes from 1976.
In addition, Cestac occasionally contributed to Ah Nana!, Métal Hurlant, Charlie Mensuel, Viper, Pilote and Chic. From 1980, she was present in À Suivre, and starting two years later, also in Charlie Mensuel.
