Stanislas Barthélemy was born in 1961 and initially studied interior decoration, but turned to creating comics in 1982 by publishing his own fanzines. In the late 1980s, he began collaborating with writer Laurent Rullier, with whom he began the series Victor Levallois. Stanislas co-founded the alternative publishing house L'Association in 1990 and was also the artist of the biographical graphic novel about Hergé, called The Adventures of Hergé, which was written by Jean-Luc Fromental and José-Luis Bocquet in 1991.
