Biography edit

Aude Massot studied for four years at the Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels, Belgium until 2006.[1]

She then worked in Paris in advertising and animation. In 2009, she published her first album, Chronique d'une chair grillée (published by Les Enfants Rouges), which she drew on a script by Fabien Bertrand containing a "dark and cynical" narrative.[2] With the same writer, she delivered La sulfureuse épopée des bandits Miki et Magda in 2011 and 2013, which, under a humorous angle, tells the story of a "couple of mythical robbers".[3]

Next, Massot teamed up with Édouard Bourré-Guilbert and Pauline Bardin, who wrote the script for Massot's humorous Québec Land, published in 2014, which focuses on two young French expatriates.[4] Originally from Le Mans, Bourré-Guilbert and Bardin moved to Montreal temporarily in 2011 and ran a column. They got in touch with Massot, who also spent time in Montreal.[5] The episodes were broadcast for free on Delitoon for several months and met with some success before Éditions Sarbacane [fr] proposed a publication.[5]

By herself, Massot undertakes non-fiction comics for SAMU Social, published by Steinkis Groupe [fr] in 2017, Chronique du 115, une histoire du Samu social.[6] Inspired by the stories of a social worker, she meets and accompanies Xavier Emmanuelli [fr] while he does his work within SAMU Social.[7]

She continued in the same documentary vein by collaborating with Karim Lebhour, Radio France Internationale's UN correspondent from 2010 to 2014, for a comic book about the United Nations, Une saison à l'ONU, au cœur de la diplomatie mondiale (2018).[8] The book was reviewed by various media, such as Le Monde,[8] France Inter,[9] La Croix,[10] ActuaBD [fr],[11] BoDoï [fr],[12] BD Gest' [fr],[13] and Le Petit Journal.[14] The album was shortlisted for the France Info Prize (2019).[15]
