In the summer of 2017, Rose and her father rent a cottage on Île Verte in the Lower St. Lawrence. For Paul, this is his first father-daughter vacation. After a personal slump, professional fatigue and the death of his parents, he felt the need to take stock. In this haven of peace, conducive to reflection, Paul will begin a new chapter in his life.
Michel Rabagliati was born in 1961 in Montreal, where he grew up in the Rosemont district. After being interested in typography for a while, he studied graphic design and started working in this field on his own in 1981. In 1988, he began to seriously illustrate advertising. Since 1998, his comics have revolutionized Quebec’s 9th art. With his Paul series, Michel Rabagliati has become a key figure in Quebec comics. He was the first Quebecer to win the Fauve FNAC-SNCF Public Prize at the 37th Angoulême International Comics Festival for Paul à Québec. In 2017, he was made a Companion of Arts and Letters of Quebec. In 2022, he received the Prix Athanase David and was made a Chevalier de l’Ordre des arts et des lettres in France.
