Biography
Biography
Boulard attended the École régionale des beaux-arts d'Angers, and began writing comics in the 1990s, after befriending Yoann, who had encouraged him to start in the field of comics. As an illustrator, he worked with authors such as Éric Omond, Yoann, Éric Corbeyran, Richard Malka, Paul Gillon, David Beauchard, and Jason. At the same time, Boulard wrote comic scripts, starting in 2002 with the publication of Legs de l'alchimiste with Hervé Tanquerelle and Yeux Verts with Zanzim. He produced Miss Pas Touche in 2006, illustrated by Kerascoët and published by Dargaud, which sold 30,000 as of 2017. Since then, Boulard has worked with Étienne Le Roux, Marie Caillou, Virginie Augustin, with whom he won the 2017 Prix Diagonale for best album. With Bertrand Gatignol, he created Les Ogres-Dieux, which won best comic series at the 2019 Lucca Comics & Games Conference in Italy. Boulard produced the collective work Les Gens normaux, paroles lesbiennes gay bi trans, published in 2013, during the time when France was voting on the legalization of gay marriage. In 2019, he wrote the comic Le Boiseleur: Les Mains d'Ilian, with illustrations by Gaëlle Hersent. In June 2020, Peau d'homme, written by Boulard with illustrations by Zanzim, was released. It had taken Zanzim five years to illustrate Hubert's script. Boulard died on 12 February 2020 at the age of 49, said his publisher in a press release.
