Alex Alice is a French graphic novelist whose works have been translated into more than fifteen languages. While traveling around Europe he developed a lifelong passion for the ruins and castles of the medieval and romantic ages. This experience influenced his art, from his esoteric thriller The Third Testament (co-written with Xavier Dorison) to Siegfried, an operatic retelling of the northern saga of the great dragon slayer. In Castle in the Stars, he draws on Jules Verne and nineteenth-century romanticism to create a watercolor world of adventure and wonder to enchant adults and younger readers alike.

This infused his art, from the grim medieval setting of esoteric thriller “The Third Testament” (1997-2003, co-written with Xavier Dorison) to the primeval, mythic world of “Siegfried” (2007-2011), an operatic re-telling of the northern saga of the great dragon-slayer.
