Christophe Gibelin is a French comics author, who first made his mark as a scriptwriter, before he also started drawing his own comics. He was born in Ganges in the Hérault department in 1967. He graduated in Graphic Arts from the School of Fine Arts in Nîmes, and then enrolled at the School of Fine Arts in Angoulême in 1988, where he specialized in Photography. Despite different directions, he also worked a lot with students from the school's comics section. Most notable was his cooperation with Claire Wendling, for whom he wrote a comic story for the anthology 'Les Enfants du Nil' in 1990.
