About the Author
Michel Gagné was born in Québec, Canada. As a young man, he studied animation at Sheridan College School of Visual Arts in Ontario, Canada.
In 1985, he began a highly successful career drawing characters and special effects for animated and live-action feature films. Gagné's work has appeared in films such as "The Iron Giant", "Osmosis Jones", "The Land Before Time", "All Dogs Go to Heaven", the "Star Wars: Clone Wars" animated short films, and numerous others. His 3 ½ minute independent short film, "Prelude to Eden", is a favorite among animation students and teachers, and has played in festivals throughout the world. Michel was honored by the International Animated Film Society, ASIFA-Hollywood, with four Annie Award nominations.
The creator made the jump to print in 1998 with his critically acclaimed first book, "A Search for Meaning: The Story of Rex", and the birth of GAGNÉ International Press. Teaming up with his beloved wife Nancy, he continues to expand the Gagné library, solidifying his reputation as an alternative book publisher. In 2002, Michel was given carte blanche to write and illustrate a 40-page Batman story for DC Comics. His bizarre and highly controversial tale, Spore, was serialized in Detective Comics #776-780.
Among his other creative endeavors, Michel has experimented in a variety of mediums including sculptures, paintings and mixed-medias. He lives peacefully with his wife and two dogs, in the Pacific Northwest.
