Tiburce OGER, known as Tiburce, is a French comic book artist and writer.
After obtaining a Bac in Visual Arts and studying at the Angoulême School of Fine Arts, he first turned to animation (Lucky Luke and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) before making a breakthrough in comic books. He won the Alph'Art Avenir at the Angoulême Festival in 1991.
The following year, he released the first volume of Gorn with Vents d'Ouest. The series would make his name and was published until 2008 (11 volumes in total).
Next came, as a writer or artist, Damoiselle Gorge (a spin-off series of Gorn), Orull the Cloud Maker (with Denis-Pierre Filippi as the writer) or The Inn at the End of the World (2004-2007) with Patrick Prugne as the artist.
From 2007 to 2010, he worked as an illustrator with actor-director Vincent Pérez on La Forêt (comic book) for Casterman.
He then worked on the adaptation of Anne Robillard's novel series: The Knights of Emerald, achieving yet another great public success!
His sense of dreamlike drawing, his meticulously crafted compositions (he is a master of diagonal landscapes), and his use of cool colors make Tiburce Oger an artist whose impact remains long in the reader's memory!
