Louis Rémillard is a comic book artist with a long track record. Beginning to publish in 1973, he has produced a series of publications oscillating between humour and narrative research. In 2008, his book Voyage en zone d’exploitation was nominated for the Bédéis-Causa Award and he received the Marc-Olivier Lavertu Award from the UQO's Baccalaureate in Comics students. Passionate about First Nations culture while canoeing the rivers of Quebec, he began his magnum opus, a trilogy on the First Nations, of which Le retour de l'Iroquois was the first volume. It was then followed by Traces de mocassins (May 2020) and Les routes de troc (2022). These three volumes are the result of exhaustive research and offer a detailed and original recreation of the lives of the First Nations and early settlers in Quebec. Rémillard combines clearly drawn characters with a breathtaking interpretation of Quebec nature.
