Arnaud Le Gouëfflec is 47 years old and has many stories to tell. His career as an author, as atypical as it is prolific, is characterized by a refusal to let himself be locked into a genre. Both a novelist and comic book scriptwriter, he is also a singer and songwriter. The common denominator: writing, fueled by various sources of fascination, from noir to serial novels to Fantômas, from SF to pataphysics, from comics to rock.

Nicolas Moog is a French cartoonist and author. He is also a musician (vocals, guitar, banjo, double bass, double bass, percussion) in several neo-blues formations such as Thee Verduns, and performs regularly on stage in Europe and the United States of America.
