Philippe Druillet is a comics artist and writer, known for his innovative approach to visual design. In the US, he's best known for his graphic adaptation of Michael Moorcock's Elric hit fantasy series, Elric, the Return to Melnibone, and his work for Heavy Metal, such as City of Flowers. Xavier Cazaux-Zago, born in 1977, learned to read and write before he could run. Screenwriter, photographer and director, he devotes his life to blackening paper. Exploring the diversity of codes and genres, he exercises his pen on multiple supports. When Dimitri Avramoglou invited him to dive into the world of Philippe Druillet, Xavier was struck by a tremendous clap of thunder. From this discovery followed a conversation which bore Babel and many other projects. Dimitri Avramoglou was born in Paris in 1975. Between 1994 and 2000, he went to two schools, Estienne and ENSAD, then worked as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. In 2003, he released his first album, Caravane. In 2008, he met Philippe Druillet. From this friendship was born the ambition to extend the adventures of Lone Sloane and the Babel project. He lives and works in Paris.
