Frédéric Toublanc original comic art

Frédéric Toublanc began his career in comics rather late in life, when he took over the artwork of the historical series 'Vasco' from Gilles Chaillet in 2007. The Parisian artist had grown up reading comics however, and was particularly fond of the work of Gotlib, René Goscinny and Morris. For his later realistic work, Toublanc has especially studied the work of Burne Hogarth. He also developed a keen interest in the Middle-Ages, regularly visiting medieval sites throughout France and reading books about dynasties and certain religious orders.
