Philippe Adamov (27 June 1956 – 3 February 2020) was a French cartoonist.[2]
Biography[edit]
Adamov took up cartooning upon his discovery of the works of Harold Foster and Jijé. After a few months at École Estienne, he worked as a decorator at René Laloux Studios. In 1978, he began drawing, starting with covers of television series Ulysses 31.[3] He began publishing comics in the magazine Okapi in 1983.
The journalist Henri Filippini noticed Adamov's talent and brought him to Glénat Editions. He was now a professional cartoonist. Some of his works from this time include Dayak and L'Impératrice rouge. In 2004, he moved to Éditions Albin Michel and collaborated with novelist Jean-Christophe Grangé to write La Malédiction de Zener.[4]
