Mauricet started working for Spirou magazine, drawing hundreds of cartoons and co-creating the series cosmic patrouille, a superhero parody, among other things. a fan of american comics, he fulfilled his dream of working for them when he was asked to draw a set of batman illustrations and some superman pages for dc. He also drew a tellos tale for image and the crossovers for crossgen comics. for casterman he co-created the series mort de trouille. He penciled a mademoiselle louise album for éditions dupuis. he’s now quite busy working for bamboo éditions on three series. LES PROFs, une bien belle nuance de rouge and Boulard.

He recently started to work on personal projects for ACES WEEKLY, an online comic book anthology initiated by David Lloyd. he hopes you will enjoy this selection of rarely seen drawings done between 2011 and 2012 and collected in this Fourth issue of icon-o-clash.
