About the author
Born in 1973 in Tours, Bruno Chevrier, otherwise known as Nob, has always harbored a boundless passion for all things comics and computers. He set up his first fanzine in college, and earned first prize at the comic book competition of Festival of Grenoble at the age of 16, followed by another prize two years later in Angouleme. He came to Paris in 1994 to pursue his studies in visual expression. Once he'd finished his studies, he got a job with a company that produced merchandise for cartoons, such as "Looney Toons" and "The Simpsons." He then took part in a young talent competition organized by publisher Glénat, which opened the doors of "Tchô !" magazine to him. Nob soon became one of its pillars, with his series "Bogzzz" (4 volumes between 2002 and 2005) and "Mamette" (6 volumes). Nob served as editor-in-chief and graphic designer of "Tchô !" magazine from 2001, before handing over the mantle in 2008. Even though Nob's name cropped up from time to time in "Spirou" from about 2004 onwards for his illustrations for Julien Neel's series "Indien et Pingouin," it wasn't until around 2010 that he began to appear more regularly. First it was through the illustration and scripting of a few panels for the "Atelier Mastodonte" collective, led by Lewis Trondheim, of which he became a permanent member. Then in 2013 came his comedy series "Dad" (2016 Europe Comics), which tells the story of a single dad and his four daughters. Readers immediately took to it, and in March 2015, "Dad" was at last published in comic book format by Dupuis. Nob today lives in a small village by the Pyrenees.
Né en 1973, à Tours, le Français Bruno Chevrier, dit Nob, a développé dès l'enfance une passion sans borne pour la bande dessinée et l'informatique. Il crée son premier fanzine dès le lycée et gagne à 16 ans le premier prix du concours BD du festival de Grenoble, ainsi qu'un prix au concours scolaire du Festival d'Angoulême deux ans plus tard. Il s'installe à Paris en 1994 pour poursuivre ses études en Expression Visuelle. Il entre ensuite dans une société chargée de réaliser des produits dérivés de dessin animés (Looney tunes, Simpsons). Il participe alors au concours jeunes talents organisé par Glénat, qui lui ouvre la porte du magazine "Tchô !". Nob y devient rapidement un des piliers avec ses séries "Bogzzz" (4 albums entre 2002 et 2005) et surtout "Mamette", série à gag entamée en 2006 comptant 6 tomes, ainsi que 3 albums d'une série parallèle, "Les souvenirs de Mamette", et un hors série consacré à la cuisine. Depuis 2004, Nob dessine et scénarise aussi "Mon ami Grompf", publié dans "D-Lire" et chez Glénat (9 albums). Nob sera aussi rédacteur en chef et graphiste du magazine "Tchô !" dès 2001, avant de passer la main en 2008. Si on retrouve le nom de Nob dans Spirou dès 2004 pour un dessin clin d'oeil à la série "Indien et Pingouin" de son ami Julien Neel, il faut attendre les années 2010 pour l'y croiser régulièrement. D'abord au scénario et au dessin de quelques planches du collectif de "L'Atelier Mastodonte" cornaqué par Trondheim, dont il devient un membre permanent, et ensuite, surtout, en 2013, avec l'apparition de sa nouvelle série humoristique, "Dad", mettant en scène un père célibataire et ses quatre filles. Immédiatement plébiscité par les lecteurs, "Dad" connaît en mars 2015 la joie d'un premier album, "Filles à papa", dont Nob assure scénario, dessin et couleurs. Il vit aujourd'hui dans un petit village des Pyrénées. Rédacteur en chef du défunt magazine "Tchô !" et pilier de celui-ci avec "Mamette", le Français Bruno Chevrier dit Nob a rejoint Spirou et Dupuis en 2010, où il s'impose d'emblée avec "Dad", nouvelle série à gags plébiscitée par les lecteurs, sensibles à son mélange très personnel d'humour et de tendresse.
