Enki Bilal (born October 7, 1951) is a French comic book creator, comics artist and film director. ==Biography== Born Enes Bilalović in Belgrade, Yugoslavia,〔(Život bez formata );Popboks, December 26, 2007〕 to a Slovak mother and a Bosniak father who had been Josip Broz Tito's tailor, he moved to Paris at the age of 9. At age 14, he met René Goscinny and with his encouragement applied his talent to comics. He produced work for Goscinny's Franco-Belgian comics magazine ''Pilote'' in the 1970s, publishing his first story, ''Le Bal Maudit'', in 1972. In 1975, Bilal began working with script writer Pierre Christin on a series of dark and surreal tales, resulting in the body of work titled ''Légendes d'Aujourd'hui''. In 1983, Bilal was asked by film director Alain Resnais to collaborate on his film ''La vie est un roman'', for which Bilal provided painted images that were incorporated in the "medieval" episodes of the film. He is best known for the ''Nikopol'' trilogy (''La Foire aux immortels'', ''La Femme piège'' and ''Froid Équateur''), which took more than a decade to complete. Bilal wrote the script and did the artwork. The final chapter, ''Froid Équateur'', was chosen book of the year by the magazine ''Lire'' and is acknowledged by the inventor of chess boxing, Iepe Rubingh as the inspiration for the sport. ''Quatre?'' (2007), the last book in the ''Hatzfeld'' tetralogy, deals with the breakup of Yugoslavia from a future viewpoint. The first installment came in 1998 in the shape of ''Le Sommeil du Monstre'' opening with the main character, Nike, remembering the war in a series of traumatic flashbacks. The third chapter of the tetralogy is ''Rendez-vous à Paris'' (2006), which was the fifth best selling new comic of 2006, with 280,000 copies sold. His cinematic career was revived with the expensive ''Immortel'', his first attempt to adapt his books to the screen. The film divided critics, some panning the use of CGI characters but others seeing it as a faithful reinterpretation of the books. On May 13, 2008 a video game based on the ''Nikopol'' trilogy was announced titled ''Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals''. Published in North America by Got Game Entertainment in August 2008, the game is a "point and click" adventure for the PC; however, the Lead Designer was Benoit Sokal and not Bilal himself, who was the art designer, along with Yoshitaka Amano, for the video game ''Beyond Good & Evil 2''. In 2012, Bilal was featured in a solo exhibition at The Louvre. The exhibition, titled "The Ghosts of the Louvre", ran from December 20, 2012 to March 18, 2013. The exhibition was organized by Fabrice Douar, and featured a series of paintings of "Ghosts", done atop photographs that Bilal took of the Louvre's collection. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Enki Bilal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
