Gigi Dutreix (born 1996) is an American non-binary comics creator who has worked as a writer, penciler, colorist, and inker, having gained recognition for their work on the official Sonic the Hedgehog comics for IDW Publishing.
Early life
In their youth, Dutreix received artistic training at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, having previously studied at Destrehan High School, and from an early age expressed interest in working in the American comic book industry.[1]
Career
Gigi began making comics at the age of 13 when they created the fan comic The Murder of Me, an unofficial horror comic centered on Sonic that they worked on for about 10 years.[2]
Dutreix wrote one of the five stories published in the first annual of IDW Publishing's Sonic the Hedgehog series, released in 2019. Their story was illustrated by artist Evan Stanley and starred Silver the Hedgehog and Blaze the Cat,[3] marking Gigi's first work for the publisher.[2] Gigi also worked as the cover artist and colorist for the 2024 Sonic Halloween special comic, written by Mark Bouchard and illustrated by Jack Lawrence.[4]
Starting on September 13, 2025, Dutreix was the subject of various online attacks after celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk through multiple posts, showing in one of them a screenshot with various Spotify playlists named "Charlie Kirk is Dead" shortly after DC Comics writer Gretchen Felker-Martin and Ghost of Yotei game developer Drew Harrison faced severe online backlash for the same reason, with numerous social media users demanding their contracts be revoked and that they be fired for their statements about Kirk.[5]
Beyond their work in the Sonic franchise, Gigi Dutreix has also worked on several titles associated with Transformers and My Little Pony, also published by IDW.[5] They illustrated an alternate cover for issue #16 of My Little Pony, written by Celeste Bronfman,[6] and worked as an inker on the first issue of Transformers: Shattered Glass.[7] Additionally, within the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, they have worked on titles such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Armageddon Game - The Alliance[8] and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate (where they served as a colorist).[9]
