Biography

Before becoming scenario writer of cartoon, François Rivière publishes a first work of studies devoted to the school of Hergé , at Glénat in 1976.

The following year, in company of Floc' H, it gives rise to Albany in Pilote .

In 1978, one finds it with the synopsis of the monthly magazine To follow , where, parallel to various chronicles devoted to the large feuilletonists (Gaston Leroux, Paul Féval, Eugene Sue,…), he undertakes several short stories drawn by Andréas.

In 1983, joining for the writing José-Louis Bocquet, it launches out in " The private one of Hollywood" , a police band carried out by Philippe Berthet.

In 1985, for Why not? , the Newspaper of Tintin , then Hello Bédé , it collaborates with Gabrielle Borile and writes the text of Victor Sackville, a series drawn by Francis Carin.

In 1990, he writes Peter Pan: the lagoon with the sirens with Pierre and Danard (with the Alpen editions).

In 1995, it adapts " The crime of the East-Express" with Jean-François Miniac (with the editions Lefrancq, Brussels), then " Died on Nil" in 1996 with the same ones.

François Rivière is also the author of many novels, tests or bibliographies, among which: Factories (the Threshold, 1977), the Manuscript of Orvileda (a book for children illustrated by Jean-Michel Nicollet at Hatchet, 1980), Agatha Christie, duchess of dead the (the Threshold, 1981), Silence, one kills! (a police fiction put in images by Benoît Sokal at Nathan in 1990), J.M. Barrie, the child who did not want to grow (Calmann-Levy, 1991), wings of Peter Pan (the Threshold, 1993, illustrated by Rene Follet), Damnation of Edgar P. Jacobs (with Benoît Mouchart, Threshold-Archimbaud, 2003),…

Delicately impregnated of the subtle perfume of the past, closely mixing the literary references and bédéphiles, the scenarios of François Rivière mark the imaginary one of the reader and are essential by their originality, their emotional load and their intelligence.

The narrative art of River undoubtedly reaches its top with the series Albany (on a drawing of Floc' H at Dargaud) in which, inspired by Agatha Christie and Alfred Hitchcock, it multiplies the setting in abyme history, the made-to-order of a Borgès.
