Claire Bouilhac was born in 1970. From 1994, she teamed up with scriptwriter Jake Raynal for the series Francis Blaireau Farceur, which has seven volumes and a special issue. In 2016, adapting the Francis series, the Victor B. company organized the show Francis sauve le monde (Francis saves the world) at the Théâtre de Namur, featuring 30 of the 240 short stories. Bouilhac has collaborated with Catel Muller on several occasions; the two met on the sidelines of the Angoulême International Comics Festival and found affinities, particularly in terms of feminism. They collaborated on the Top Linotte series and on two biographies: Rose Valland, captain Beaux-Arts (2009) and another on Mylène Demongeot, Adieu Kharkov (2015), with preface by Pierre Richard. The two authors begin their work with Les lilas de Kharkov but, after lengthy interviews with the actress, they retraced her life and that of her mother, Claudia. The realization of the album took three years, from period photos. In the wake of this work, an exhibition on this graphic novel was held at Château-Gontier. In 2019, she collaborated with Catel Muller on a comic book adaptation of La Princesse de Clèves. Then in 2023, Bouilhac and Muller adapted George Sand's Indiana into a graphic novel published by Europe Comics.
