Francis Pelletier «Grazo» has always been fascinated by comics and especially by Tintin. Hergé played a pivotal role in his graphic development: "it goes back to the age of 10, when I redrew the book "Tintin and the Picaros" in its entirety". It is however only at the age of 19 that he started to devote himself to the creaion of new comics. Graduating in graphic arts from the Cégep of Rivière-du-loup in 1987, he's been working for 30 years in the fields of printing and occasionally gives seminars on comics in schools.
