Eric Theriault ( born 1967 in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada
) is a cartoonist, best known for Veena
, his self-published comic book mixing autobiography, nostalgia,
time-travel and ghosts.
He began cartooning in 1982 , with his early work owing a visual
debt to Russ Manning, early Marvel comics and Metal Hurlant's
brand of ligne claire.
His first fanzines (Meteor, Krypton, Rectangle), published with
the help of a group of friends quickly became the nexus that
kickstarted a group of alternative/underground cartoonists toward
a wider recognition as the Montreal Comic Scene.
Today, he share space at Studio 3265 with a group of fellow cartoonists
working for a variety of publishers, like Moonstone Books, Fantagraphic,
Image, Dc, Marvel, Dark Horse, Soleil. The group is made up of
Yanick Paquette, Michel Lacombe, Martin Balcer, Kate Bradley
and Yan Mongrain.
When he has time, he works on a graphic novel of John Star, an
"existentialist" revision of space heroes like Flash
Gordon. Excerpts have been published in Typhon.
He remains a fixture in the Montreal comic community, and is
continuing to produce personal comics when the opportunity comes.
