Born in 1978, Pierre-Henry Gomont pursued various professions, including some years as a sociologist, before becoming a graphic novel author. He took his first steps as a creator in 2010 by participating in the collective volume 13m28, published by Manolosanctis, to be followed in 2011 by his first full volume, Kirkenes (Les Enfants rouges), written by Jonathan Châtel. In parallel, he began writing and illustrating another book, Catalyse (Manolosanctis), followed by a quick succession of other works, including Rouge karma, Les Nuits de Saturne, and the award-winning Pereira prétend, with publisher Sarbacane. In 2018, Gomont completed Malaterre, a rich and immersive graphic novel published by Dargaud (Europe Comics 2019).
