Joseph Béhé actually Joseph Griesmar (born February 19, 1962 in Triembach-au-Val , Alsace ) is a French comic artist.

Life

The stage name Béhé is the maiden name of his mother. After graduating from high school, he studied at the Strasbourg art school from 1980 . His first comic Tödliche Macht (fr. Péché Mortel ), which was based on a scenario by Jean Christoph Deloulme alias Toff, was published in an uncolored version in Pilote in 1989 and a short time later as a color album (with Dargaud ). With Dargaud he released the album Art and Love in 1991 ( fr.Pur l'Amour de l'Art ; scenario by Le Tendre and Rey).

In 1992, Béhé moved to the Vents d'Ouest publishing house , where not only was Tödliche Macht reissued, but also his next work, the two-part album Doppel-Gen (fr. Double Je ), published. The political thriller Midnight in Rhodes (fr. Minuit à Rhodes ), based on the scenario of the children's book author Eric Boisset , was proposed to him by his publisher and appeared in two albums in 1995. In 1998, on the 150th anniversary of the Baden Revolution , he was one of them the draftsmen of the people's freedom . A third volume was created for Vents d'Ouest at the end of the 1990s, in addition to the actual two-part Tödliche Macht , which takes place 32 years later in the future and partly answers open questions from the first two volumes.
