Philippe Fenech

Philippe Fenech was born on April 1st 1976, in Montpellier. He decided to become a cartoonist after reading Asterix...

His first job as a cartoonist was in a daily newspaper in his region. He created the character of "Requin barjot", gags in strips.

In 1999, it is the decisive meeting with Curd Ridel which gives him good hope to make comics...

As an illustrator, from 2001 he illustrates the games in the magazines "Le journal de Mickey" (in which he realizes in 2002 a series of gag "After class" with Dobbs in the scenario), "Mickey Parade", "Super Scrooge", "Kid's Mag" or "Bug's Bunny mag" and "scoobydoo Mag". From 2004 to 2010, he creates illustrations and gags for the magazine Lanfeust Mag (including a series of gags, Bazardoz, until 2006, with the writer/novelist Pierre Grimbert)

And as a comic book author, he signed in 2003 with the publisher Soleil. 4 series were born: Tuff et Koala, a series for children with Curd Ridel at the script, Anatole et compagnie, a humoristic series with Nicolas Mitric at the script and finally L'empire des Mecchas, a science fiction series with Téhy at the script and since 2007 Leo, passion rugby, scripted by Loïc Nicoloff

In 2010, he moved to Vents d'Ouest for two humoristic series: "Un Héros presque parfait" for which Miss Mady and Ludovic Danjou wrote the script and "Ulysse" for which he also co-wrote the script with these two companions.

In 2013, he created with Christophe Cazenove the series "Mes Cop's" which quickly met its public.

In 2021, he was entrusted with the co-direction of "Idéfix et les Irréductibles", which was an immediate success.
