Benoît Drousie (born 12 April 1962), who signs as Zidrou, is a Belgian comic book writer.[1][2]

Life and career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Anderlecht, Drousie worked as a teacher for six years before writing for comics in the early 1990s.[3] He published his first comic in the 1991 Christmas supplement of Spirou magazine, with "La triste fin du Père Noël", drawn by De Brab.[1] In 1992 he formed a writing studio with his friend Falzar,[4] with whom he published the first album of the series Margot et Oscar Pluche, again with art by De Brab .[1] The following year, he would establish himself as a screenwriter on various series for the weekly magazine Spirou.[1]

During the 1990s, he would establish himself as one of the weekly's most versatile humor writers, creating series such as L'Élève Ducobu, Tamara, and the aforementioned Margot et Oscar Pluche,[4] and signing a multitude of short comics drawn by different artists.[4] Starting in the 2000s, and without abandoning his collaborations with Spirou,[4] he would start writing more serious comics,[4] specializing over time as a writer of graphic novels and thrillers.[4]
