Jean Tabary

Jean Tabary was a French comic artist, and the co-creator of the humorous series 'Iznogoud' (1962- ). The futile attempts of this diabolical grand vizier to become "caliph instead of the caliph" have delighted readers for over half a century. Originally written by René Goscinny, 'Iznogoud' is a fun mix of puns, self-reflexive comedy and silly nonsense. The series exists in three different formats: as short stories, full-length adventure tales and as a political satire gag comic. In France, "Iznogoud" has become a byword for pathetic power-hungry politicians…Comiclopedia
