After the early death of his Italian immigrant parents, Pascal J. Zanon was forced to take on several odd jobs to earn a living. His passion for graphic art led him to create illustrations and caricatures, which were soon published. He met Christian Vanderhaeghe, editor-in-chief of publishing company Art et B.D., who encouraged Zanon to make a comic series, which led to the creation of 'Harry Dickson'. After first appearing in magazine Charlie Mensuel, the rest of the series was published directly in album format.
