Jean-François Miniac began his career doing several comics for the BDétective collection of Editions Lefrancq, among which some novels by Agatha Christie with scripts by François Rivière. Miniac has worked with André Taymans on the second book of 'Sam Griffith' at Les Humanoïdes Associés, and did 'Cain, du Chagrin à l'Espoir' at Comptoirs des Vents in 1994. He was also present at Soleil with 'La Saga des Fils de Thulé' with text by Scotch Arleston and book three of 'Les Contes du Korrigan'. In 2004, he took over the series 'Filles de Soleil' at this publisher.

In 1998, he began the 'Outsiders' series at Glénat, again in cooperation with Rivière. He drew 'Christophe' for the Encyclopédie des Prénoms of Vents d'Ouest in 2005 (text by Gégé). He contributed to the collective comic book 'Amiante, Chronique d'un Crime Social'. The book won the Tournesol's prize, for comics about social justice and democracy, at the Angoulême festival in January. He wrote the script of the comic book 'Zoé sème la Zizanie', drawn by Emmanuel Delente for Editions Des Ronds dans l'O in 2006, as well as 'Guide Emile Borne de la Bretagne' for Thierry Laudrain (Ed. Duo comme Trois Pommes) in 2007. In 2007, Miniac's humor album 'Le tour des monde en 80 bulles' appeared.
