Biography

Tabary had his comics debut with "Richard et Charlie" published in the comics magazine "Vaillant" on November 5, 1956.Cite web|last=Lambiek Comiclopedia|title=Jean Tabary|url=http://lambiek.net/artists/t/tabary_jean.htm] Cite web|last=BDoubliées|title=Vaillant année 1956|url=http://bdoubliees.com/vaillantpif/annees/1956.htm|language=French ] For "Vaillant" (in 1965 renamed "Pif") Tabary also drew "Grabadu et Gabaliouchtou", and eventually the hit series "Totoche" in 1959, which produced another series with two if its characters, "Corinne et Jeannot", and its own short-lived periodical "Totoche Poche". Tabary continued to draw this series until 1976.

In 1962 Tabary began a long-lasting collaboration with René Goscinny, creating the series "Les aventures du Calife Haroun el Poussah", first published in "Record" on January 15, 1962.Cite web|last=BDoubliées|title=Record année 1962|url=http://bdoubliees.com/record/annees/1962.htm|language=French ] Shifting its focus and title name to the evil antagonist of the series, "Iznogoud" became a considerable success, and was eventually adapted into a cartoon TV series. In 1968 the series changed serial publication magazine to Coscinny's "Pilote". "Valentin le vagabond", another series Tabary initially created with Goscinny, also appeared in "Pilote" since 1962.

After Goscinny's death in 1977, Tabary continued to create "Iznogoud" albums. Tabary's own publishing label, at first named Editions de la Séguinière, then Éditions Tabary, continues to publish Tabary work, ultimately albums in the "Corinne et Jeannot" series, and the most recent "Iznogoud" volume, "La faute de l'ancêtre" in 2004.
