JERONATON (TORTON/ JERONATON JEAN)
Jean TORTON started his comic illustrator career for the magazine TINTIN in 1962. At that time has mainly created short stories and historical comics as Les Conquérants du Mexique and Cortés à Mexico. While still working for TINTIN, he collaborated on the 'Astérix' and 'Tintin' animated movies at the end of the sixties. During the seventies and eighties, he turned towards adult comics, for which he took on the pseudonym Jéronaton. Torton started out at Métal Hurlant with 'Champakou, L'Oeuf du Monde and Les Amazones. For the last couple of years, he has been applying himself to a hyperrealistic painted style, which can be seen in works such as La Fresque Biblique and Yeshoua, la Promesse du Royaume. Most recently he has drawn some album for the famous series ALIX in collaboration with the great Jacques MARTIN: Les voyages d’Alix, Alix raconte Alexandre Le Grand…
