Dédé's first comic work was assisting Maverick (a.k.a. Mazel) on the series 'Chacal Bill', which appeared in Pif Gadget. In 1973, his name appeared in Spirou in 'Carte Blanche', a section where beginning artists could see their work published. Soon he became one of the most productive illustrators of game and editorial pages for this magazine. 1975 saw the appearance of Dédé's first series: 'Alcofribas, le Loup Foque', a gag series about a wolf. In 1977, a second animal series followed, about the detective 'O'Strich'. This character was soon included in Dédé's final series, 'Les Truffineux', yet another animal comic, which ran from 1979 until 1982.
