Emmanuel Guibert belongs to the generation of authors that renewed the french editorial scene in the 1990s. An eclectic artist, he has collaborated with David B., Joann Sfar and Marc Boutavant. His most recent work examines historical themes and successfully allows comics and photography to interact. The photographer examines the experience of the photojournalist Didier Lefevre in the russian-afghanistan war, while following the work of Medecins Sans Frontieres. Again working on a historical setting, Guibert begins to work in 2000 on Alan's war (Coconino press, 2007/2010), telling the story of the war memories of Alan Ingram Cope, soldier in the U.S. Army in the Second World War.
In both works Guilbert interprets others’ experiences, through stories and drawing that seek to convey with different styles the best possible representation of the events described.
