Anouk Ricard
Anouk Ricard was born in 1970 in southern France. She studied at the Beaux-Arts in Aix-en-Provence and the Strasbourg School of Decorative Arts where she graduated with a degree in illustration. She launched her career in comics with Anna and Froga, a children's series first published by Capsule Cosmique magazine, and later published in English by Drawn & Quarterly. The french edition of Animan—soon to be published in English by Drawn & Quarterly—was awarded the special jury prize at the 2023 Angoulème Comics Festival. In 2025 Ricard was awarded the Angoulême Grand Prize in recognition for her lifetime career achievement in comics.
