Elsa Charretier (born June 15, 1989[1]) is a French comic book artist and writer. She has worked with Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Image Comics and IDW Publishing.
Early life
Charretier grew up reading French comics, and drew as a child.[2] She said in 2020, "My parents encouraged my high-energy and independent personality, but I think it's fair to say they were secretly worried: 'how in the hell is this kid going to find a job?!'"[3]
Career
Charretier made her U.S. debut with The Infinite Loop, a comic she co-created with Pierrick Colinet.[4][2] In 2014, after French editors rejected it, Charretier and Colinet crowdfunded to publish the comic, raising $50,000. They used the remaining money to buy tickets to the New York Comic Con, where it was eventually accepted by IDW Publishing.[2]
Charretier later drew the art for the graphic novel adaptation of
In 2019, Charretier and Matt Fraction co-created November, a graphic novella crime series, for Image Comics.[6] In 2022, Charretier and writer Tom King co-created Love Everlasting, a psychological horror and romance comic series, which is also published by Image Comics.[7][5]
Charretier illustrated the storyboards for Room Service, a horror short film she is making together with Colinet and James Tynion IV.[8][9] The project began a Kickstarter campaign in October 2022.[9]
Influences
Charretier has cited Batman: The Animated Series and Watchmen as influences. She has drawn inspiration from comic creators such as Tim Sale, Darwyn Cooke and Bruce Timm.[10]
