About the author

Roland Daigle has always been an artist with big dreams, and his biggest one was to write comics. As a technician at Radio-Canada, he spent his free time drawing. After an internship at the Fine arts academy of Tournai, Belgium, he integrated the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto. Many sketches later, his dream finally comes true in the form of this first comic published at Bouton d'or Acadie. Alerte à Richibouctou is a fiction inspired by his youth and coloured by the stories of a veteran father.
