Roger Widenlocher, who was born in Algeria, started making humorous drawings for several magazines in the mid-1970s. His name reappeared with the publication of the comic 'Josua Livingroom le Gabian', which he made for a press agency. Widenlocher met Herlé in 1984, and the two started the humorous magazine La Blatte. For a couple of years, Widenlocher illustrated comic adaptations ('Roman de Renart', 'Le Livre de la Jungle', 'Les Fables de La Fontaine') for Je Bouquine. When that same magazine asked him to create a humorous comic series, he came up with 'Nabuchodinosaure', a character he had created back in the 1970s. He asked Herlé to write the scenarios. In 1993, Herlé and Widenlocher were given an award for the series in Angoulême.
In 1996, Widenlocher, again joined by Herlé, started a new series, 'Coyote Bill'. One year later, he created another series, 'Woker', in collaboration with Achdé on both scenario and artwork. In 1998, he took over the artwork on the 'Achille Talon' series from Greg.
