Guy Delisle

Guy Delisle, born January 19, 1966, in Quebec City, Canada, is a cartoonist and animator renowned for his travelogue graphic novels. He is best known for works like *Shenzhen: A Travelogue from China* (2000), *Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea* (2003), *Burma Chronicles* (2007), and *Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City* (2008). Delisle began his career in animation before turning to comics, where his clean, understated linework and dry observational humor became his signature. His books often document his experiences living abroad, usually while accompanying his wife on humanitarian assignments, offering a quiet, personal lens on closed or complex societies. He has also created the humorous *Le guide du mauvais père* series. Delisle’s collaborations are primarily with his family as subjects, though he works closely with editors and translators. His graphic novels have earned him multiple awards, including the Angoulême International Comics Festival Prize for Best Album for *Pyongyang*. Active from 1999 to the present, his work continues to be translated widely, solidifying his reputation as a leading voice in autobiographical and travel comics.
