Jean Tabary
Jean Tabary (born March 5, 1930 in Stockholm , † August 18, 2011 in Pont-l'Abbé-d'Arnoult , France) was a French cartoonist .
Career
His best-known work is the series published from 1962 about the Grand Vizier Isnogud , which he conceived together with the text-writing René Goscinny . A total of 27 albums were created, the first 13 with texts by René Goscinny. The line from the comic, “I want to be a caliph instead of the caliph” (“Je veux être calife à la place du calife”) has become a popular saying in France. In 2008 a 28th volume was published, but it was drawn by Tabary's son.
Tabary also repeatedly distinguished himself as a draftsman in his own stories.
From the end of the 1970s Tabary was friends with a young journalist (Europe 1, Antenne 2) Francis Slomka . During this time they founded the publishers Éditions BD'Star and Éditions de la Séguinière . " Les vacheries de Corinne à Jeannot " (1979) and " Les récrés de Totoche " (1981) were published.
In 2004, Tabary suffered a severe stroke, forcing him to stop drawing and stop doing isnogud. In 2008 his 3 children published the 28th and final volume of the series.
Tabary died in August 2011 in Pont-l'Abbé-d'Arnoult in the Charente-Maritime department , where he had lived for about 30 years.
