Aurélie Neyret (pen name, Clo;[1] born 24 May 1983) is a French illustrator and cartoonist of bande dessinée.
Neyret took courses at the École Émile-Cohl before training as an autodidact. She collaborated with the press, especially youth publications. She participated in collective albums before publishing her first book, Les Carnets de Cerise (2012) with Joris Chamblain.[2] The series met with great critical success and notably won the Angoulême International Comics Festival Prix Jeunesse 9–12 ans in 2014.[3] In February 2016, Neyret refused her appointment to the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres,[4] like three other female comic strip writers.
