Serge Pellé

With his perfect mastery of direct coloring against pencil-drawn backgrounds – sometimes enhanced with gouache, acrylic paint or even oil pastels – Serge Pellé’s pages are highly legible and impressively detailed.

Considered one of the best science fiction series since Valérian (Valerian and Laureline), Orbital enjoys a solid reputation in the comic art market. Among its most notable sales is the cover for Justice, the seventh volume of the series, which sold for €10,720 in 2022. 

Like all works of art, your notebooks are sensitive to light, humidity and temperature changes. Protect them from sudden changes in temperature, and avoid exposing them to direct light.

After starting out in the Paris advertising industry, Serge Pellé switched to comic art following a meeting with Laurent Galmot at Vents d’Ouest in 1993, going on to produce a series of commissioned albums with writer Thomas Mosdi (Golden Tiger, 1996, under the pseudonym Torgnoll) and his first solo album, Le Grand Chambardement (The Great Upheaval, Le Téméraire Editions, 1998). A stint in theater, video games and animation preceded the decisive turning point in his career: the creation, with writer Sylvain Runberg, of Orbital (Dupuis, 2006–2017), a Franco-Belgian space opera spanning seven volumes and a special edition, unanimously hailed as a benchmark in science-fiction comic art.
