Born in Switzerland in the 1980s, Léonie Bischoff moved to Brussels to study comic books and fall in love with the city and the medium. Her works at first were short stories in collective projects before she expanded to longer formats, in solo, team work and adaptation. She gained visibility by adapting Camilla Läckberg’s Fjallbacka series and critical acclaim for her work on Anaïs Nin: A Sea of Lies. She lives and works in Brussels, sharing a studio and collective project, L’Atelier Mille, which she cofounded in 2012, with nine other comic books authors.
