Gil Formosa began his career in comics at the age of 18, working at the art studio of the publishing house Dargaud. He worked as the assistant of Morris, and dealt with the merchandising related to the 'Lucky Luke' animation series. In 1977, he created four short stories for Pilote. He also began the heroic fantasy series 'Légendes du Chevalier Cargal' with scripts by Daniel Pecqueur in this magazine in 1982. The series ran until 1989. Afterwards, Formosa went to work in the advertising and animation field. He did several commissions for Glénat (two albums of 'Tex Avery'), Marvel (a Conan cover) and Semic (several covers and illustrations). With writer Jean-Marc Lofficier, he began the 'Robur' series at Albin Michel in 2003. Three years later, he began 'Double Gauche' at Dargaud with Eric Corbeyran.
