Que ce soit sur ses propres scénarios ou sur ceux de son frère Jean-Luc, les livres de Philippe Coudray ont marqué des lecteurs en France... comme au Japon !

Artiste peintre reconnu (il considère la BD et la peinture comme des disciplines complémentaires), il travaille régulièrement dans la revue “Psikopat” et animait une rubrique de cryptozoologie dans le regretté “Capsule Cosmique” (Milan Presse).
