Biography
Emmanuel Larcenet, also known as Manu Larcenet studied graphic art at the Sèvres lycée then entered art school. While spending time in playing music as a singer in a punk-rock band, he published his first drawings in comics and rock fanzines. In October 1994, he was published in the French magazine Fluide Glacial (issue #220) with L'Expert comptable de la jungle, a first story rapidly followed by other complete ones, and republished later in comic books, in the series Soyons fous, La Loi des séries and Bill Baroud. Meanwhile, Larcenet was also actively collaborating for "Les rêveurs de runes". For this magazine and label spcialising in fantasy, he created games called Raoul, D'ac Raoul, and, in 1997, Dallas cowboy.
From that year on, alone then with Gaudelette, he worked for the Spirou magazine, there publishing Pedro le Coati, among others. In 1998, still for Dupuis but with Jean-Michel Thiriet, he elaborated La vie est courte. His other pictures were independently collected and published in 1996 and 1998 in 30 millions d'imbéciles and Ni dieu, ni maître, ni croquettes by Glénat.
By 2000, he met Guy Vidal and his future collection Poisson Pilote in Dargaud. Became friends, he comes in Poisson Pilote and wrote first Les cosmonautes du futur with Lewis Trondheim, then Les Entremondes with his brother Patrice Larcenet. In June 2001, he left Paris for Lyon, keeping contact with Vidal. On a scenario made by Jean-Yves Ferri, he participated in Le retour à la terre. Finally, he signed alone his next books : the Une aventure rocambolesque de... and Le combat ordinaire series, this last one granted by the Prize for Best Comic Book at the Angoulême International Comics Festival.
