Jean-Marc Reiser

Biography

A prolific cartoonist from 1959 until his death, Reiser made his debut in the publication La Gazette de Nectar for the Nicolas winery. Reiser was known to attack taboos of all kinds. Hara-Kiri was banned in 1970 by the French Minister of the Interior for mocking the just deceased Charles de Gaulle. Reiser subsequently published his drawings in the follow-up magazine Charlie Hebdo and several other publications. In 1978 he won the Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême. He died on 5 November 1983, in Paris, of bone cancer.
