Marc Bourgne began creating comics at the age of 9 and never stopped. He studied history at the Sorbonne before working for Dargaud in France. After 4 years of studies of History in the Sorbonne, he got his degree in 1989 with a report on Alaska.

To create the first albums Etre Libre (Dargaud) and its young heroes, Andy and Flo, he was inspired by his interest in North America and his own memories of adolescence.

Marc Bourgne believes that to make good comics, you must take the greatest care in the construction of the stories and the quality of the drawings. His ambition is to be, apart from any fashion, a good craftsman.
