Julie Birmant was born in France in 1974. She would find her way to Brussels in college to study at the INSAS, an art institute where she studied cinema. There she created scientific documentaries as well as taking a leading role in the magazine "Alternatives théâtrales." After a trip to Japan, she then returned to France, where she worked for France Culture and became a playwright, writing for several theater festivals. Her first graphic novel, "Drôles de femmes" (Dargaud), illustrated by Catherine Meurisse and released in 2010, is a collection of portraits of famous female figures. A few years later, Birmant joined with Clément Oubrerie to create the biographical series "Pablo" (Dargaud), recounting Picasso's childhood, followed by "Isadora," which tells the incredible story of American dancer Isadora Duncan. Most recently, the pair published the adventure series "Renée Stone" (Dargaud, Europe Comics in English), which follows a young Brtitish writer as she travels to Ethiopia in 1930.

Catherine Meurisse was born in 1980. After her initial studies in contemporary literature, she went to the Ecole Estienne followed by Arts Déco in Paris to specialize in design and the graphic arts. By 2005, she had joined the team at French satirical magazine "Charlie Hebdo," as well as illustrating for other publications such as "Libération," "Marianne," "Les Échos," and "L'Obs," and publishers like Bayard, Gallimard, Nathan, and Sarbacane. Over the years, she has also authored a number of graphic novels, including "Savoir-vivre ou mourir" (2010, Les Échapées), "Drôles de femmes" (2010, Dargaud), and "Moderne Olympia" (2014, Futuropolis). And in 2016, she published the remarkable "La légèreté" (Dargaud; "Lightness," Europe Comics), the tale of her return to life and to art following the terrorist attack at Charlie Hebdo in January 2015.
