Em Busca de Peter Pan

Bernard Cosandey, who uses the stage name Cosey, was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, on June 14, 1950.
At age 16, he began his apprenticeship as an illustrator at an advertising agency.
In 1970, she met Derib, a renowned Swiss author (Attila, Buddy Longway and Yakari), which supports and encourages him to create his own stories.
Cosey published his first comic strips in 1971, in the Belgian newspaper. Le Soir – three episodes of the series Monfreid et Tilbury, with scripts by A. P. Duchâteau.

Between 1971 and 1972 he also illustrated the adventures of reporter Paul Aroïd in the Swiss daily newspaper. 24 Hours, later edited into an album with the title The Return of the Beast (1972).
But it is undoubtedly in 1975 that Cosey's talent and originality truly break through, with the publication in Tintin magazine of Jonathan's first adventure, entitled Souviens-toi, Jonathan.
A passionate reader of Jung and Eastern thinkers, Cosey would explore, with great success, the universe of his unique hero in the following years, a man who is as much a dreamer and contemplative as he is fearless and adventurous.

In 1984 he published the first album of the diptych. In Search of Peter Pan, a work that marks a new and fundamental turning point in his creative career, having dedicated himself throughout the following decade to creating mainly long stories – Le Voyage en Italie (1988-1989), Orchid (1990), Saigon-Hanoi (1992), Merry Christmas, May (1995), Zeke Raconte des Histoires (1999), Une Maison de Frank L. Wright et Autres Histoires d'Amour (2003) or Le Boudha d’Azur (2005).

However, in 1997, after an 11-year hiatus, the author returned to Jonathan, a series he continues to develop to this day.
Cosey's work has earned him numerous awards, including those given by the Angoulême International Comics Festival (France): the Alfred Award for best album in 1982 (Kate, from the Jonathan series) and the Alph-Art Award for best script in 1993 (album Saïgon-Hanoï).
