Biography

Born in Langon, Gironde, 3 October 1969,[1][2] Sandrine Revel spent three years at the École des beaux-arts de Bordeaux [fr] and graduated.[2]

In 1996, she published her first album, Jouvence La Bordelaise,[2] based on a script by Frédéric Bouchet and, at the same time, she drew for Sud Ouest Dimanche and Milan Presse.[2]

In 1999, based on a script by Denis-Pierre Filippi [fr], Revel drew the children's comic strip, Un drôle d'ange gardien.[3] The album earned her the Prix jeune espoir at Quai des Bulles [fr] in 2000,[4] and, in 2001, the second volume, Un zoo à New York, won the Prix Alph-Art jeunesse at the Angoulême International Comics Festival.[5]

The following year, she published Le 11e jour, a testimony of the September 11 attacks in 2001.[6] She joined forces with Claude Bourgeyx [fr], who wrote the script for her for Monsieur Régis, published in 2009. The following year, she wrote a series, Résurgences, Femmes en voie de resociabilisation (Resurgences, Women on the Way to Resocialization)[7] as well as Sorcellerie & dépendances, a parodic story.[8] Based on a script by Marzena Sowa, Revel drew N'embrassez pas qui vous voulez, published in 2012, about Poland in the Stalin era.[9]
