Benoît Drousie (born 12 April 1962), who signs as Zidrou, is a Belgian comic book writer.

Life and career

Born in Anderlecht, Drousie worked as a teacher for six years before writing for comics in the early 1990s. He published his first comic in the 1991 Christmas supplement of Spirou magazine, with "La triste fin du Père Noël", drawn by De Brab. In 1992 he formed a writing studio with his friend Falzar, with whom he published the first album of the series Margot et Oscar Pluche, again with art by De Brab . The following year, he would establish himself as a screenwriter on various series for the weekly magazine Spirou.

During the 1990s, he would establish himself as one of the weekly's most versatile humor writers, creating series such as L'Élève Ducobu, Tamara, and the aforementioned Margot et Oscar Pluche, and signing a multitude of short comics drawn by different artists. Starting in the 2000s, and without abandoning his collaborations with Spirou, he would start writing more serious comics, specializing over time as a writer of graphic novels and thrillers.
