The passion for comics d’Issa and its screenwriter, Jeanne Degois, has been around for a long time. Together, they collect comics in their offices, devour the “Petit Spirou”, the “Gaston”, the “Astérix” since they were little… and often joke regarding the idea of writing one themselves. So when Kennes offers them a collaboration with Liroy for the production of an autobiographical comic strip… The dream becomes reality!
Issa Doumbia is the only one of his siblings to be born in France. Before becoming one of the favorite personalities of the French, little Issa lived a happy childhood in the Parisian suburbs, alongside friends and classmates, worthy representatives of the black-white-beur generation.
Often immersed in comics, and particularly in those of Petit Nicolas, he admits that he sometimes had trouble identifying with his favorite heroes. It is by thinking of today’s children that little Issa, who has grown up, plunged back into his childhood memories, to offer them a comic that looks like them, reflecting a mixed society. All with the humor and good humor that make it so successful!
