Alongside this success, he co-signed in 2021 with Alexis Sentenac the event album Goldorak published by Kana, a tribute sequel to the work of Go Nagai created with Xavier Dorison and Denis Bajram. An active member of the Virtual Workshop favoring digital exchanges, Brice Cossu is also involved in the extended universe of the World of Aquilon with Guerres d'Arran by drawing the 1st volume, thus consolidating his place as an essential illustrator in the contemporary Franco-Belgian scene.

With his lively and pleasant style, Brice Cossu showcases the extent of his talent in each of his albums.

Focus on FRNCK

In FRNCK, a 13-year-old orphan sets out to find his parents and finds himself in the midst of prehistory, inevitably having to do everything: invent fire, soap, vowels, and try to survive among monstrous creatures and thick-headed brutes...

"Frnck" is a grand humorous adventure with a real reflection on modernity and humanity.
