Elsa Charretier (born June 15, 1989 [1]) is a French comic book artist and writer. She has worked with Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Image Comics and IDW Publishing.
Charretier grew up reading French comics, and drew as a child. [2] She said in 2020, "My parents encouraged my high-energy and independent personality, but I think it's fair to say they were secretly worried: 'how in the hell is this kid going to find a job?!'" [3]
Charretier made her U.S. debut with The Infinite Loop, a comic she co-created with Pierrick Colinet. [4] [2] In 2014, after French editors rejected it, Charretier and Colinet crowdfunded to publish the comic, raising $50,000. They used the remaining money to buy tickets to the New York Comic Con, where it was eventually accepted by IDW Publishing. [2]
Charretier later drew the art for the graphic novel adaptation of George R. R. Martin's novel Windhaven. [2] She has worked on comics such as The Unstoppable Wasp, Star Wars Adventures and Harley Quinn. [4] [3] [5]
In 2019, Charretier and Matt Fraction co-created November, a graphic novella crime series, for Image Comics. [6] In 2022, Charretier and writer Tom King co-created Love Everlasting, a psychological horror and romance comic series, which is also published by Image Comics. [7] [5]
Charretier illustrated the storyboards for Room Service, a horror short film she is making together with Colinet and James Tynion IV. [8] [9] The project began a Kickstarter campaign in October 2022. [9]
Charretier has cited Batman: The Animated Series and Watchmen as influences. She has drawn inspiration from comic creators such as Tim Sale, Darwyn Cooke and Bruce Timm. [10]
Charretier is a feminist. She has worked with her boyfriend, writer Pierrick Colinet, on several comics. [2]
