Rénald Luzier (born 7 January 1972), [1] known by his pen name Luz, is a French cartoonist. He is a former contributor to the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and drew the cover of the first issue of the publication following the 2015 Charlie Hebdo shooting, an image of Muhammad holding a sign reading "Je suis Charlie" under the slogan "All is Forgiven". [2]
Luz has contributed to a number of publications including La Grosse Bertha , Les Inrockuptibles , Magic, Ferraille, L'Écho des Savanes , and Fluide Glacial . He was awarded the Prix Tournesol at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2003 for his work Cambouis, a collection of his own fanzine that was published by L'Association in 2002.
Luz narrowly missed becoming a victim of the Charlie Hebdo shooting (on his birthday) because he was late for work [3] and turned up just in time to see the perpetrators fleeing. [4]
Luz left Charlie Hebdo in October 2015. He later drew cartoons for Cahiers du Cinéma . In 2018, he published Indélébiles, a graphic novel about his 23 years experience at Charlie Hebdo. [5] It was awarded the France Info Prize. [6]
