Enki Bilal (born Enes Bilalović on October 7, 1951) is a French cartoonist and film director.
Born in Belgrade, Serbia (former Yugoslavia), he moved to Paris at the age of 9. There, at 14, he met René Goscinny and with his encouragement tried turning his talent to comic books. He worked on Goscinny's magazine Pilote in the 1970s, publishing his first story, Le Bol Maudit, in 1972.
He began working with script writer Pierre Christin in 1975 on a series of dark and surreal tales.
The Nikopol trilogy (La Foire aux Immortels, La Femme Piège and Froid Équateur) took more than a decade to appear but is probably Bilal at his best, writing the script as well as doing all the artwork - the final chapter, Froid Équateur, was even awarded the book of the year award by the very serious magazine Lire and is acknowledged by the inventor of chess boxing, Iepe Rubingh, as being the inspiration for this new sport.
His latest publication has been Rendez-vous à Paris (2006), the third book in tetralogy (the Hatzfeld), this time dealing with the breakup of former Yugoslavia but from the future. The first installment came in 1998 in the shape of Le Sommeil du Monstre opening with the main character, Nike, remembering the war in a series of traumatic flashbacks. The third chapter of the tetralogy is titled Rendez-vous à Paris (2006). It gives a good indication of Bilal's popularity, being the fifth best selling new French comic of 2006 with 280,000 copies.
His cinematic career has recently been revived with the expensive Immortel (Ad Vitam) which is his first attempt to adapt his books to the screen. The film has split critics, some panning the use of CGI characters but others have seen it as a faithful reinterpretation of the books.

The Hunting Party 48 MB
by Pierre Christin (Author), Enki Bilal (Illustrator)"Ten members of the Soviet Politburo gather at a sumptuous country home for a weekend of shooting. In reality, this winter hunt is only an excuse for an elaborate game of death filled with suspense and intrigue. A fascinating story which reads like a ruthless dissection of power. A surreal blend of realism, political fiction, and suspense."

The Nikopol Trilogy 92 MB
by Enki Bilal (Author)QUOTE
"The Nikopol Trilogy brings together three previously published volumes Carnival of Mortals, Woman Trap and Cold Equator all impressive works of imagination meticulously written, drawn and colored by European comics artist Bilal. It's the year 2023 and Alcide Nikopol has been revived from a state of suspended animation after 30 years orbiting Earth. In the meantime, the planet has suffered two nuclear wars, and France is ruled by the ruthless dictator J.F. Choublanc. The immortal gods of Egyptian antiquity have also reawakened to revive their rule over humanity, and they now hover above the crumbling technopolis of Paris in a massive stone pyramid/airship. Horus, the renegade falcon god, takes possession of Nikopol's body, rendering him immortal, and concocts a conspiracy to overthrow the Choublanc regime. When Nikopol cracks under the pressure of Horus's possession, he is reduced to muttering the poetry of Baudelaire while he wanders the halls of a mental hospital. "Woman Trap" picks up two years later in a war-torn London. Blue-haired news correspondent Jill Bioskop dispatches stories 30 years into the past using a device called a scriptwriter, while she takes pills to eradicate the bloody memories of men she has murdered. In "Cold Equator" the story is further complicated as Nikopol's son boards a train bound for Equator City, an African metropolis afflicted with a freezing micro-climate of minus-six degrees, but surrounded by desert and surrealistically populated by sub-Saharan wildlife. Intricate plot twists and stunning color artwork mark this work as both an extraordinary comics literary achievement and a crackling good story."

The Town That Didn't Exist 37 MB
by Pierre Christin (Author), Enki Bilal (Illustrator)QUOTE
"Christin, a French novelist, and Bilal ( Exterminator 17 ) have produced a story of class conflict transformed by a benevolent mistress and visionary technology. The tale is set in a decaying French industrial hamlet called Jadencourt. As the town's corporate patriarch lies dying, the workers in his factories go on strike and the managers and executives from his global conglomerate gather to await his death and claim control of the huge empire. But the mogul's sole heir, an invalid daughter, surprises everyone: she buys out her executive rivals and confronts the town and union leaders with a fantastic scheme to use the corporation's immense wealth to build a new Jadencourt. The reborn city, completely domed in plastic, is designed to provide for every inhabitant. Bilal's drawings, as always, are impressively rendered, his color muted and melancholic. Despite its labored pace and sometimes predictable characterizations, this work documents the provincial working classes while highlighting the disillusion and social vacuity inherent in utopian schemes."

The Dormant Beast 29 MB
by Enki Bilal (Author)QUOTE
"This haunting, open-ended story of a future society reeling from terrorist violence turns the stuff of ugly current events into extraordinary art. Nike Hatzfield was born in Yugoslavia (like Bilal himself), during the siege of Sarajevo. Nike has perfect recall and can remember everything that has happened to him since he was orphaned as a baby. Because of this talent he's become the target of The Obsurantis Order, a kind of pan-fundamentalist (Judaism, Christianity and Islam team up) terrorist group dedicated to eradicating "thought, science, culture and memory." Nike is dragooned into a plot to destroy the OO by the Federal Bureau of International Investigation, an agency as ruthless as the fiendish terrorists it's fighting. A pawn of both sides, Nike is brutally transformed into a deadly telepathic homing device guided to the mysterious target by a voice in his head. But he's also determined to find two orphans who survived Sarajevo with him, who are also targets of the OO. The book moves cinematically between the lives of these three. Much as he did in his acclaimed graphic novel The Nikopol Trilogy, Bilal has created a beautiful, brooding retro-future world that looks like a cross between Blade Runner and Dune. It's a world of random violence, human isolation, flying cars, deadly androids and blighted high-tech multileveled cities rendered in gothic gloom and punctuated by streaks of rich startling color. Best known in Europe for award-winning comics that dwell on themes of violence, intolerance and uncertain identity, Bilal has used the grim events of contemporary life to create a gripping work of allegorical science fiction.
Presenting this outstanding story from the acclaimed creator of The Nikopol Trilogy, Enki Bilal, in full-sized graphic album hardcover format. A haunting and captivating work by one of the foremost graphic novel artists in the world, The Dormant Beast takes place in New York, during the year 2023. The story follows Nike, who has a prodigious memory, as he uses his gift to try to understand his past as a Yugoslav orphan, as well as his violent and chaotic present, where obscurantism has become a flourishing business of worldwide manipulation. The Dormant Beast is sure to please fans of Bilal`s other work, including the acclaimed Nikopol Trilogy, as well as science fiction fans. The Dormant Beast offers a level of sophistication that older sci-fi fans have been craving, in addition to the stunning artwork that is a staple of Bilal`s books."

The Chaos Effect 110 MB
Writer: Pierre Christin
Artist: Enki Bilal
DC/Humanoides 2005QUOTE
"This trade paperback from Humanoids and DC Comics collects two tales of political intrigue—"The Black Order Brigade" and "The Hunting Party." Both tales by writer Pierre Christin and artist Enki Bilal ( two of the world's most important comic book creators) focus on the ugly side of espionage and regime change. In "The Black Order Brigade," an infamous group of terrorists from the Spanish Civil War rises from the shadows of the past with a series of horrifying bombings, so it's up to the group of now–retired soldiers who'd put down these terrorists years ago to end this unexpected uprising. "The Hunting Party" finds a group of Warsaw Pact political figures' weekend of hunting disrupted by murder and suspicion. These are significant tales that truly demonstrate the possibilities of comics as a literary medium: no capes, no tights—just good, engaging stories."

The Cruise of Lost Souls; Ship of Stone; The Town That Didn't ExistWriter: Pierre Christin
Artist: Enki Bilal
Humanoids, 2004QUOTE
"This trade paperback consists of the first three graphic novels ever drawn by European artist Enki Bilal, and reprinted for the American market by DC Comics. Known as the Townscapes trilogy, Bilal collaborates with writer Pierre Christin to tell three tales of modern day towns caught up in fantastic circumstances. The Cruise of Lost Souls tells of a mysterious military device and its gravity-defying effects on a remote farming town. In Ship of Stone, citizens of a Brittany fishing village team up with a local warlock to confront unscrupulous property developers. The Town That Didn't Exist is about a small town fallen on hard times and its decision to revitalize itself by building a utopia. The theme of each story is healthy rebellion against authority—and its consequences."
