Biography

Aude Massot studied for four years at the Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels, Belgium until 2006.
She then worked in Paris in advertising and animation. In 2009, she published her first album, Chronique d'une chair grillée, which she drew on a script by Fabien Bertrand containing a "dark and cynical" narrative. With the same writer, she delivered La sulfureuse épopée des bandits Miki et Magda in 2011 and 2013, which, under a humorous angle, tells the story of a "couple of mythical robbers".
Next, Massot teamed up with Édouard Bourré-Guilbert and Pauline Bardin, who wrote the script for Massot's humorous Québec Land, published in 2014, which focuses on two young French expatriates. Originally from Le Mans, Bourré-Guilbert and Bardin moved to Montreal temporarily in 2011 and ran a column. They got in touch with Massot, who also spent time in Montreal. The episodes were broadcast for free on Delitoon for several months and met with some success before proposed a publication.
By herself, Massot undertakes non-fiction comics for SAMU Social, published by in 2017, Chronique du 115, une histoire du Samu social. Inspired by the stories of a social worker, she meets and accompanies Xavier Emmanuelli while he does his work within SAMU Social.
She continued in the same documentary vein by collaborating with Karim Lebhour, Radio France Internationale's UN correspondent from 2010 to 2014, for a comic book about the United Nations, Une saison à l'ONU, au cœur de la diplomatie mondiale. The book was reviewed by various media, such as Le Monde, France Inter, La Croix, ', ',, and Le Petit Journal. The album was shortlisted for the France Info Prize.
