French Author on Tour: Wilfrid Lupano

About Wilfrid Lupano

Wilfrid Lupano was born in Nantes, in the west of France, and spent most of his childhood in the southwestern city of Pau, France. He spent his childhood reading through his parents’ comic book collection and enjoying role‑playing games. He studied literature and philosophy, receiving a degree in English, before he began to script comics. He has written numerous graphic novels for French readers, including the series Les Vieux Fourneaux (in English, The Old Geezers). With this series, Lupano and Paul Cauuet first developed the idea that would become The Wolf in Underpants. Lupano once again lives in Pau after spending several years in the city of Toulouse.

About The Wolf in Underpants

(Lerner Publishing Group, 2019-2022, written by Wilfrid Lupano, illustrated by Mayana Itoïz and Paul Cauuet)

In The Wolf in Underpants books, a wolf’s fearsome reputation has other forest animals running scared… until the wolf shows up wearing a comfy striped pair of underpants. These hilarious graphic novels are fables for the modern age, showing early readers how to look past rumors and appreciate the differences among us.

The fourth book of The Wolf in Underpants will be released in the United States in November 1, 2022.
