Thom

Thom (Thomas Blais-Leblanc) was born in Montréal in 1993. He’s been drawing comics since an early age, and many of his characters have been following him around for years. He studied cartooning at UQO, and it was during his final year at school that he started work on the wordless graphic novel VII, which became the first of his “Silent Fables” series and went on to win the prestigious Réal-Fillion Award for Best Debut in 2018. His most recent book is Botanica Drama, which was nominated for the Quebec Booksellers Prize amongst other awards. When asked what he loves to draw the most, Thom answers without hesitation “animals,” which will come as no surprise to his readers. He is currently working on a collaboration with the writer Alexandre Fontaine Rousseau.
