Feel-Good Stories
Jordi Lafebre was born in 1979 in Barcelona, where he studied comics and fine arts before taking his first steps as a comic artist in 2001. He was then published in several Spanish magazines, notably the youth magazine Mister K, where he created El Mundo de Judy (Judy’s World) in collaboration with writer Toni Front. His meeting with Zidrou proved decisive: after contributing a few illustrations to the Journal Spirou, Jordi Lafebre took part in an anthology, The Old Lady Who Had Never Played Tennis and Other Heartwarming Stories (Dupuis). Then, in 2010, he co-created a moving one-shot with Zidrou: Lydie (Dargaud). In 2014, again with Zidrou, he released La Mondaine (Dargaud), and continued this momentum, in 2015, with a series that is equally family-oriented and uplifting: Les Beaux Étés (Dargaud), which spans six volumes. Alongside this series, Jordi Lafebre published Malgré tout in 2020—also with Dargaud—for which he wrote and illustrated the story. In 2024, he published Je suis leur silence, the story of a psychiatrist who returns for a second volume a year later in Je suis un ange perdu. In 2026, he published Jane dans les nuages in Dargaud’s Intermezzo collection.
Jordi Lafebre stands out for the humanity and sensitivity that shine through in each of his albums. From Lydie (Dargaud, 2010), which told the story of a woman convinced that her stillborn baby was still alive, to Beaux étés (Dargaud), a series chronicling the chaotic yet joyful vacations of a Belgian family, and Malgré tout (Dargaud, 2020), a reverse-chronological love story he wrote himself, the Catalan artist has established himself, as a leading figure in "feel-good" comic art. Whether collaborating with his Belgian scriptwriter Zidrou, or working solo, this heartwarming spirit is admirably conveyed through his refined, precise, and dynamic semi-realistic artistic style.
