Laetitia Coryn (born 1984) is a French comic artist, illustrator and voice actor.
Biography
At the age of fifteen, Coryn met the comic artist Jean-Claude Mézières, who inspired her to pursue a career in illustration. She went on to study at the École supérieure des arts et industries graphiques (ESAIG) in Paris and in 2009 she published her first comic book at Glénat Editions.
In 2016, Coryn collaborated with French psychiatrist and sexologist Philippe Brenot to publish Sex Story, a comic book about the cultural history of sex. It quickly became a bestseller in France and got translated into several other languages.
