Despite his initial calling to be a musketeer, Frederic Maupome studied mathematics and became a teacher. His lessons were full of princesses and superheroes, and not so full of math, so he decided to quit education to write children's books. His very first book, Pirateries, was picked by the French department of education as recommended reading. He began writing comics in 2010 with Anuki. He lives in Toulouse with his wife, their two kids, his piano, and we'll not say how many swords. David fell into the world of comics even before he learned to read. After studying art history, he moved to Poland, where the letter V doesn't exist, so he launched his career with a funny pseudonym, Dawid. Returning to France, he joined different cartoonist workshops in Tours, producing drawings, games, and cartoons for young audiences, schoolbooks, and newspapers. His published work includes two books with Delphine Cuveele (Passe-Passe and Dessus Dessous) and the Supers series (winner of the 2016 ABCD youth prize) with Frederic Maupome.
