Philippe Druillet (born 1944), is a graphic artist of the French-Belgian school of comics.
An amateur illustrator since childhood, he grows up an avid cinephile and discovers the works of Creator/HPLovecraft as a teenager. Working as a photographer, he meets Jean Boullet who initiates him to artistic drawing, painting, and the aesthetics of insanity.
In 1966, his first album, "The Mystery of the Abyss", is published. It introduces what will become his recurring hero, the space mercenary Lone Sloane. In 1969, he meets [[Creator/{{Moebius}} Jean Giraud]] and starts publishing his works in the illustrated weekly ''Pilote''. His style becomes increasingly flamboyant and visually challenging; doing away with panels altogether, he fills the whole page with [[SceneryPorn highly detailed and color-saturated drawings]].
In 1974, feeling constrained by the editorial guidelines at ''Pilote'', he leaves the magazine and, along with Giraud and Jean-Pierre Dionnet, he co-founds the alternative magazine ''Métal Hurlant'' (published in the US under the title ''Heavy Metal'') and the publishing house Les Humanoides Associés.
His recurring main character is Lone Sloane, a [[TheDrifter drifter]] AntiHero who wanders throughout space in a GrimDark far future full of decadent civilizations and {{Eldritch Abomination}}s. As a catharsis for his wife's struggle with--and eventual death from--cancer, Druillet writes the one-shot ''Night'' in 1975. This album is characterized, even more than the rest of his oeuvre, by a tone of darkness, despair and nihilistic pessimism.
His next major work, published in 1980, is the ''Salammbo'' trilogy, a SpaceOpera [[RecycledInSpace adaptation]] of Creator/GustaveFlaubert's [[Literature/{{Salammbo}} eponymous novel]], in which Lone Sloane is incarnated as the Carthaginian warrior Matho.
