That same year, he began the famous mystery series 'Adèle Blanc-Sec' in the Sud-Ouest daily. Several of his short stories were collected in the album 'Mouh-Mouh' in 1979. For Métal Hurlant, Tardi created 'Polonius' with writer Picaret in 1976. He expanded his activities in 1975, and drew for Libération, Charlie Mensuel and L'Écho des Savanes. For Dargaud, he produced 'Le Démon des Glaces' and 'La Véritable Histoire du Soldat Inconnu'. He also worked in the western genre for Record ('Blue Jackett', 'Cheval Gris'). He started out illustrating several short stories written by Jean Giraud and Serge De Beketch, before he drew the political fiction story 'Rumeurs sur le Rouergue' (text by Pierre Christin). Tardi is the father of "the new realism" and a master in depicting both the old city of Paris as the awful life in the trenches of the Big War. After studying fine arts in Lyon and decorative arts in Paris, Tardi joined Pilote magazine in 1970. Tardi's expressionistic style is perfect for his stories about World War I and about the underworld of the city. He invented a new variation within the clear line style and in this way inspired many artists. Jacques Tardi is without a doubt one of the most important artists of his generation.
