Philippe Druillet (born June 28 1944 ) is a French Comic Book artist and writer. Druillet was born in Toulouse , but spent his youth in Spain , returning to France in 1952 after the death of his father. A Science Fiction and Comics fan, Philippe worked as a Photographer after graduating from high school, drawing only for his own plesaure. His first book appeared in 1966. Entitled ''Le Mystère des abîmes'' ("The Mystery of the Abyss"), it introduced his recurring hero Lone Sloane and science-fiction themes partially inspired by his favourite writer, H.P. Lovecraft . Later Druillet created book covers for republications of Lovecraft's work, as well as numerous movie posters. Druillet's Lone Sloane saga grew steadily more flamboyant in '' Pilote '' as he pursued innovations including bold page designs and Computer-generated Images . In 1973 Druillet produced ''Vuzz'' for the magazine '' Phénix '' and in 1975 he and several other noted European comics talents formed Humanoïdes Associés to publish '' Métal Hurlant ''. This magazine was to be a vehicle for his finest stories, and showcases a steadily evolution in his graphical skills. His stories of this period include ''La Nuit'' ("The Night") ( 1975 ), the Moorcock's Elric -inspired '' Yragaël '' ( 1974 ) and '' Nosferatu '' ( 1978 ). In 1976 he worked as a designer on the Horror movie '' Sorcerer '', directed by William Friedkin . In 1980 Druillet produced ''Salammbô'', a comic-book trilogy based upon Flaubert 's proto- Heroic Fantasy novel '' Salammbô ''. In 1996, he received le Grand Prix national des Arts graphiques.
