Maryse Dubuc (French pronunciation: ​[maʁiz dybyk]; born 21 October 1977) is a Canadian comics writer, known particularly for The Bellybuttons which she created with her husband, artist Marc Delafontaine ("Delaf").

Early life

Maryse Dubuc was born in Compton, Quebec,[1] growing up at a dairy farm. She studied French literature at the Cégep de Sherbrooke, and communication at the Université du Québec à Montréal. She would later meet future husband Delaf at a local bar in Sherbrooke.[1]

Career

Dubuc started working as a colourist, working with publishers like Vents d'Ouest and Editions 400 Coups.

At the same time, she wrote novels for young readers for Bayard Presse and Pierre Tisseyre.

With Delaf, she created the comic series The Bellybuttons (French title: Les Nombrils) for Safarir, a Québécois humour magazine, and Spirou, the weekly Franco-Belgian comics magazine published by Dupuis that later picked up the comic series. So far, five albums and one integral compilation have appeared. Translated albums have appeared in Dutch (Dupuis), English (Cinebook) and Czech (Cooboo), and translations in magazines exist in Italian (in Cioè), Danish (Tempo), Greek (Katepiva) and Norwegian (Girls). By 2009, the French edition of the 3rd album of Les Nombrils sold over 220,000 copies.[2]
