Aude Massot (born 27 September 1983, Les Lilas) is a French bande dessinée comic book artist. She is a member of the Collective of female comics creators against sexism. Her non-fiction comics book with Karim Lebhour, Une saison à l'ONU, au cœur de la diplomatie mondiale (2018) was shortlisted for the France Info Prize (2019).
Aude Massot studied for four years at the Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels, Belgium until 2006.[1]
She then worked in Paris in advertising and animation. In 2009, she published her first album, Chronique d'une chair grillée (published by Les Enfants Rouges), which she drew on a script by Fabien Bertrand containing a "dark and cynical" narrative.[2] With the same writer, she delivered La sulfureuse épopée des bandits Miki et Magda in 2011 and 2013, which, under a humorous angle, tells the story of a "couple of mythical robbers".[3]
Next, Massot teamed up with Édouard Bourré-Guilbert and Pauline Bardin, who wrote the script for Massot's humorous Québec Land, published in 2014, which focuses on two young French expatriates.[4] Originally from Le Mans, Bourré-Guilbert and Bardin moved to Montreal temporarily in 2011 and ran a column. They got in touch with Massot, who also spent time in Montreal.[5] The episodes were broadcast for free on Delitoon for several months and met with some success before Éditions Sarbacane proposed a publication.[5]
By herself, Massot undertakes non-fiction comics for SAMU Social, published by Steinkis Groupe in 2017, Chronique du 115, une histoire du Samu social.[6] Inspired by the stories of a social worker, she meets and accompanies Xavier Emmanuelli while he does his work within SAMU Social.[7]
She continued in the same documentary vein by collaborating with Karim Lebhour, Radio France Internationale's UN correspondent from 2010 to 2014, for a comic book about the United Nations, Une saison à l'ONU, au cœur de la diplomatie mondiale (2018).[8] The book was reviewed by various media, such as Le Monde,[8] France Inter,[9] La Croix,[10] ActuaBD,[11] BoDoï,[12] BD Gest',[13] and Le Petit Journal.[14] The album was shortlisted for the France Info Prize (2019).[15]
