Life and career
Life and career
Maximilien Le Roy was born in France on 29 November 1985. His comic book Hosni (2009) is about a homeless man in Lyon. An interest in Friedrich Nietzsche led him to make Nietzsche, se créer liberté (2010), a biographical comic book about Nietzsche, based on a script by Michel Onfray. Le Roy visited Palestine in 2008 and 2009 and this became the inspiration for several comic books about the Israeli–Palestinian conflict: Gaza (2009), Faire le mur (2010) and Les chemins de traverse (2010). He travelled in Vietnam after which he made Dans la nuit la liberté nous écoute (2011), which is about Albert Clavier, a French soldier who defected to the Viet Minh during the First Indochina War. In collaboration with A. Dan, Le Roy made Thoreau: A Sublime Life, a biographical comic book about the American philosopher Henry David Thoreau, which was published in French in 2012 and in English translation in 2016. Le Roy has made further biographical comics about people including Paul Gauguin, Louis Auguste Blanqui and Antonin Artaud.
