- Short biography
- Nicolas Jarry est un auteur de BD.
Il a suivi des études universitaires à la faculté de Biologie de Bordeaux avant de s'essayer à la littérature. Il a aussi occupé les fonctions de surveillant dans un établissement scolaire et a été libraire spécialisé dans le rayon Bande Dessinée à la librairie Marbot (Périgueux).
Pendant ses études universitaires il écrivit en trois ans "Le Loup de Deb", une trilogie de fantasy, puis l'envoya à un éditeur qui le publiera deux ans plus tard. Depuis, il ne cesse d'écrire.
Il exerce son style dans sa première production, "Les Chroniques d'un guerrier Sinamm" (2001), publié chez Mnémos.
Fort de cette expérience, il décide de s'atteler à une œuvre plus aboutie et s'associe au duo Guillaume Lapeyre - Elsa Brants. Amateur de fantasy traditionnelle, il signe le scénario d'un album sombre et gothique: "Les Chroniques de Magon" (2003-2008).
Lors de sa participation au Festival du Film Fantastique, Nicolas Jarry fait la connaissance de Jean-Luc Istin. Cette rencontre aboutira a son premier grand succès en bande dessinée, "Les Brumes d'Aceltis" (2003-2011).
Paraîtront ensuite "Maxime Murène" (2005), "Les Contes de Brocéliande" (2004-2005), "La Rose et la Croix" (2005-2009), "Le trône d'argile" (2006-2015) ou encore "Nains !" (2010).
Il a travaillé avec jusqu'à 15 dessinateurs différents puisqu'il il faut environ un an à un dessinateur pour réaliser les images d'un album, alors qu'il met 1 à 2 mois pour écrire le scénario d'une bande dessinée...
Nicolas Jarry est également romancier. Il a coécrit avec France Richemond, une saga historico-mythologique en deux époques publiée (2 tomes) aux éditions du Rocher (2005) : "Sphinx" (t. 1) et "Le peuple de la mer" (t. 2). - Nationality

Better than expected. I had been badly disappointed by a few European comics recently, but this was alright. I thought the art was great, and if the writing had been good this would be four stars.
The plot is workable, but the protagonist is completely unlikeable and a little hard to believe. He's a jerk who is shitty to everyone most of the time. He turns out to be pretty good at hacking people apart, but only after a lot of training provided by an uncle who Redwin promptly shits on as soon show more as he doesn't need him. The story is about him finding redemption after a long struggle, but here isn't much to indicate why he changes his mind. He just walks off the job after his last fight to become a blacksmith and go fishing. show less

Another fairly good comic brought down by w a few really bad elements. The art is this series is quite good, but the writing needs some work. The dragon ruined this one.
There is a dragon. It is ridden by an elf-looking kind of guy who the reader is made to believe is the dragon's owner/trainer and fairly essential to the dragon's usefulness and good behavior. The dragon is included to fly the protagonist an and out of a fortress for a daring theft. That works, but isn't entirely necessary. show more There are lots of other, less flamboyant, means to sneak into fortresses. So, this not entirely necessary dragon is thrashing all over 1/3 of the book. Ok, not so bad. Then, the rider is surprised and killed by an assassin as he hangs out next to the dragon. What good is a trained dragon if it can't sniff out and an enemy and stop them from killing you? Once the rider is dead, the dragon doesn't toast the assassin, he just stands around like a cow. Ok, maybe the rider wasn't particularly beloved. Worse yet, it proceeds to give the assassin a ride. Is this a fucking horse? If it was, why didn't the hero just steal a dragon? The whole dragon thing makes no sense and kind on killed this book. show less

Le dessin de Reno est beau, mais l'histoire n'a aucune originalité.
