Alexandre Simard

Alexandre Simard published his first illustrated book at the age of seven. It received warm reviews, except from his younger brother, who couldn’t read yet. Alexandre later studied film at university. He wrote a few screenplays, none of which were made into films. Alexandre Simard’s debut graphic novel Yves, le roi de la cruise (published in English as Gary: King of the Pick-up Artists), won the Expozine Best Comic Award in 2010, and was followed in 2018 by a sequel, Yves, fidèle à lui-même. He lives in Montréal and is currently working on a few new projects.
