How did you decide to become comics creators?

OLIVIER BOQUET: First I decided I wanted to become a movie maker, although it was hard, expensive, and frustrating. But after some time I realized that I can be a storyteller without being an artist. I don’t have to do both. And once I realized that, I started making comics, which is much more rewarding than movies because you are free to do whatever you want if your story is good.

BRICE COSSU: For me it was a bit more simple. I’d wanted this job ever since I was a kid. That was it.

And how did you two get together on the project of FRNK?

OLIVIER: My editor Benoît Fripiat and I were trying to find an artist for FRNK. One day at the bookshop I found something that Brice drew (Les Enquêtes du Misterium, Soleil Productions), and I liked his style, so we contacted him. He drew two sample pages that looked as good as the finished book.
