Jean-Marc Lofficier Biography

Jean-Marc Lofficier is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on June 22, 1954 in Toulon, Toulon, France. Jean-Marc Lofficier was born in Toulon, France in 1954. The son of a serviceman, he moved several times during his formative years, spending “a goodly part of my childhood in Bordeaux, and my teenage years in Fontainebleau.” A budding writer from an early age, Lofficier also “drew my own little comic strips when I was 13, 14, and began being published in French ‘zines at 16.” Recalling in 2005 that “writing wasn’t deemed a respectable, economically sound way of making a living,” he got an MBA and a Law degree, then went to work in international banking.

In 1985, the Lofficiers were hired by French artist Moebius to translate and arrange for the publication of his works in English. This led to a series of 30+ graphic novels published mostly by Epic Comics until 1995. During that time, the Lofficiers also translated numerous French comics for Dark Horse Comics, co-editing their comic Cheval Noir, and for Renegade Press, co-editing their comic French Ice, featuring the series Carmen Cru by French artist Jean- Marc Lelong. In 1990, in recognition of their career as writers, translators and editors, the Lofficiers were presented with the Inkpot Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comic Arts.

Jean-Marc left Credit Lyonnais in 1985 to join Starwatcher Graphics, a new company set up by French artist Moebius and his wife Claudine, then living in Santa Monica. After Moebius returned to France, and Starwatcher Graphics was disbanded in 2000, the Lofficiers started their own company, Hollywood Comics, which advises and counsels comic book professionals in their dealings with Hollywood. Jean-Marc and Randy moved to Chalabre, in the South of France, in 2005.

From 2000 to 2003, Jean-Marc Lofficier was editor and senior writer of a line of French comic books published by Semic Comics, redeveloping old French characters from the 1960s such as Wampus, Kabur, Phenix, Homicron, Dragut and Dick Demon into more modern versions, even gathering a number of them in the mini-series Strangers published by Image Comics in 2003. This universe of characters is now gathered as Hexagon Comics. The Lofficiers also wrote “Blood Oath” a crossover between Phenix and Top Cow’s Witchblade. Starting in 2010, the Lofficiers started to reprint the “classic” stories from the 1960s and 1970s in a series of black & white trade paperbacks, as well as write new stories, mostly by relaunching the comic-book Strangers. Since that date, Jean-Marc has been editor-in-chief of Hexagon Comics.

In 1979, the Lofficiers built on Jean-Marc’s earlier work for fanzines and French magazines – including Lunatique and L’Ecran Fantastique, for which he wrote a combination of articles, reviews and short stories – and began working as “film journalists” for a variety of “cinema/sf pro magazines.” Covering the Hollywood-based film industry (and particularly those aspects with a Sci-Fi or Fantasy bent), the Lofficiers wrote for a number of magazines created both for American and overseas audiences.
