Biography

A prolific cartoon artist from 1959 until his death, he made his debut in the publication "La Gazette de Nectar". His works are to this day controversial, with some people enthusiastically endorsing it, and other loathing it. At a 2004 exhibition of his works in the Centre Pompidou, the entrance heeded the warning "Beware! Some of the exhibited pictures could hurt the feelings of several visitors."

The comics magazine "Hara-Kiri" that he founded in 1960 together with Fred and François CavannaCite web|last=Lambiek Comiclopedia|title=Jean-Marc Reiser|url=http://lambiek.net/artists/r/reiser.htm] was banned in 1970 by the French minister of the interior for allegedly mocking the recently deceased Charles de Gaulle. Reiser subsequently published his drawings in the followup magazine "Charlie Hebdo" and several other publications. In 1978 he won the Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême.

The German cartoonist Walter Moers has mentioned Reiser as one of his influences.Fact|date=November 2007
