Description

Great sketch of Trondheim's character Kaput as Superman.
Lewis Trondheim is one of the most prolific authors of his generation, and has published more than thirty-five books in a period of ten years. He is one of the innovators of the French comics scene, along with such artists as Jean-Christophe Menu, David B., Killoffer, Joann Sfar and Mattt Konture. After a brief stint in the fanzine world, he co-founded the renewing publishing house l'Association in 1990. That same year, L�zard published his first comic, called 'Psychanalyse'. His first works for l'Assocation are 'Moins d'un Quart de Seconde pour Vivre' and several small books for the Patte de Mouche collection. Trondheim's book 'Lapinot et les Carottes de Patagonie' (L'Association, 1992) introduced his most famous character, a rabbit-like creature, originally conceived as a parody of Jean-Christophe Menu's 'Lapot'.
With Joann Sfar, he launched the 'Donjon' series in 1998, which became a hype in the comics world. This series, about a fictitious kingdom, has been added up with several sub-series. Where Trondheim and Sfar did both scenario and the artwork on the main series, several befriended artists were assigned to draw the spin-offs. Christophe Blain did the 'Donjon Potron-Minet' series, situated 100 years before the main title, now called 'Donjon Z�nith'. The 'Donjon Cr�puscule' series was situated in the future, and drawn by Sfar. 'Donjon Parade', is set between two first 'Z�nith' stories, and drawn by Manu Larcenet. 'Donjon Monstres' features stories about the several side characters, and is drawn by several guest artists, such as Menu, Mazan and Andreas.
'Donjon' was published at Delcourt, a publisher for which Trondheim also created 'Monstrueux' and 'Kaput & Zosky'. Lewis Trondheim is also a versatile writer for other artists, such as Fabrice Parme ('Le Roi Catastrophe' and 'V�n�zia'), Manu Larcenet ('Les Cosmonautes du futur'), Jos� Parrondo ('Allez Raconte' and 'Papa Raconte') and Thierry Robin (the silent comic 'Petit P�re No�l').
