Jérôme Alquié (born April 12, 1975) is a French illustrator, colorist, and writer with a passion for 1980s cartoons. Commencing his career by crafting artbooks and celluloids dedicated to series such as Saint Seiya, Ulysses 31, and Captain Harlock, Alquié also contributed concept art for characters in Captain Future and Captain Harlock. His deep affinity for the Captain Harlock universe led to a remarkable collaboration with Leiji Matsumoto, the character’s creator. Together, they produced a 3-issue comic book series titled “Capitaine Albator: Mémoires de l’Arcadia” (“Captain Harlock: Memories of the Arcadia”). Matsumoto personally reviewed and approved Alquié’s stories and artwork. Notably, Richard Darbois, the French voice actor of Harlock in Space Pirate Captain Harlock, lent his voice to the trailer for Alquié’s comic, adding an extra touch of sophistication. Jérôme Alquié’s artistic contributions extend to creating numerous drawings for DVD releases of various cartoons, including M. Captain Future, Inspector Gadget, Ulysses 31, Saint Seiya, and Transformers. He consistently honors the art styles of the source material in his work. Jerome created an Encyclopedia book for “UFO ROBOT Grendizer” in 1999. The book is being offered in excellent condition, essentially Brand New. It contains around 200 pages with numerous drawings, including full-color illustrations, all presented on fully glossy pages. There is an opportunity to acquire a copy (Re-Issue) of this limited edition book before it becomes truly unavailable forever.
