Thirty-seven authors, designers and screenwriters are meeting again this Sunday with BulleBerry. A joy for comic book lovers.
According to a winning formula, the BulleBerry festival combines signing sessions, in the beautiful setting of the Duc-Jean room, but also eleven events and eight exhibitions. The public even has the opportunity to go to the Crédit Agricole agency on rue Littré where Nick Rowswell, the most English of the Berruyers, exhibits collages of which he has the secret around the Marvel and DC universe but also ‘Asterix, from Super Dupont. Between comics and comic books. “Nostalgia for the old and discovery for the young,” he says. The exhibition is on view until October 26. Well after the end of the festival, this Sunday.
Screenwriter and school teacher
Virginie Demay, who is a teacher at the Pressavois school for CE1, began writing her first comic book. “I’m a fan of comics, I’ve loved drawing since I was young but it’s not easy to make a comic. I found that screenwriting was more for me,” she says. The Clan of Salamandres begins in Amboise in 1518. “I have a master’s degree in modern history and I wanted to tell a story around my preferences,” confides the screenwriter.
For two years, she hasn’t had much free time, focused entirely on this comic book which also offers an educational notebook for children aged 7 and over. The first volume, Le Clan des Salamandres – Les Voleurs de rêve, will be followed by a second, next May. Two Italians, Urbano and Razzi, made the drawings.
Saturday morning was also the event not to be missed for those who know the works of the twin brothers, Gaëtan and Paul Brizzi, 72 years old.
“We feel the passion in their drawing,” says Mathieu Deret who orchestrated the magnificent staging of the exhibition with drawings, certainly without text, but already sufficiently telling.

A comic strip L’Écume des jours
Gaëtan and Paul Brizzi worked for forty years in animation, notably for Disney. The tandem has already produced a comic strip like L’Écume des jours, based on the novel by Boris Vian. Here he lent drawings of their comic book adaptations of Don Quixote de la Mancha and Dante’s Inferno.
The meticulous technique, quite classic, is carried out with American pencils which allow a wide range of contrasts and nuances. Black and white paintings with sometimes the emergence of color.
Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi live thousands of kilometers apart, one in Nîmes (Gard), the other in Washington (United States), but work hand in hand, one for the sets, the other for the characters.
The visit commented by the two artists allowed us to learn more about their way of working and their intentions on a single board. A master class while circulating in the water tower-art castle.
