Introduction

Born in France in 1974, he is a scholar in the humanities, a printmaking artist, and more recently, a comic book creator. He holds a PhD in Comparative Literature and has served as an associate professor, teaching for about twelve years at Fu Jen Catholic University and National Central University in Taiwan. During this time, he published numerous academic articles as a scholar. He has been engaged in printmaking for over twenty years and frequently visits the "​Firebox Print Studio" in Shilin, Taipei. His print works have been published in a book in Taiwan. His first comic/graphic novel tells the story of a pregnant woman exiled to the largest women's concentration camp in the Third Reich, inspired by a large collection of drawings created by the exiled women themselves.
