But more dangerous foes lie between Hiro and his freedom…

Having graduated with a Master's degree in visual art at La Sorbonne, Sylvain Repos has always been attracted by comics. His main references are Katsuhiro Otomo, Moebius but also more contemporary artists like Rick Remender and Brian K. Vaughan. It is through works like Akira, Blade Runner, or Mad Max that he finds his inspiration. With Yojimbot, his first graphic novel, Sylvain Repos offers readers a thrilling post-apocalyptic tale where robots reign supreme.
