Biography
Martin Veyron (born 27 March 1950 in Dax, Landes, France) is a French comic book author and novelist, best known for his graphic novels and editorial cartoons. His style combines disenchanted vaudeville and scathing studies of mores in the manner of Gérard Lauzier. Veyron graduated from the Collège Stanislas de Paris. In 1975, he founded the Imaginon studio with Jean-Claude Denis and Caroline Dillard. He published his first illustrations in Lui, L'Expansion, and Cosmopolitan. His first comics date from 1977, when he wrote Edmond le cochon (drawn by Jean-Marc Rochette) for L'Écho des savanes. He wrote Raoul et Remy for Pilote in 1978 and Olivier Désmoreaux (under the pseudonym Richard de Muzillac) in 1984. His works were published by Éditions du Fromage at Casterman and Éditions Albin Michel. Many of his cartoons were published in newspapers such as Libération, Paris Match, L'Obs, and L'Événement du jeudi. In 1985 he made a film from his graphic novel L'Amour propre. He published his first novel, Tremolo Corazon, in 1996. Veyron received the Grand Prix of Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2001 and presided the jury in 2002. He is married to Anne Chabrol, a former reporter from the war in Northern Ireland and a former director of magazines Elle, Glamour and Cosmopolitan. He has two sons.
