Books by Fred

Fr d ric Othon Aristid s (1931-2013), known as Fred, is one of France's most influential and revered cartoonists. When he was young, he loved to read Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens, and Oscar Wilde. In the sixties, Fred co-founded Hara-Kiri, the leading satirical publication of the May '68 movement--he designed its first 60 covers. Phil mon, his story for young readers, was first published in Pilote in 1972 by Ren Goscinny, the author of the Ast rix series. Phil mon is Fred's most celebrated creation: millions of young French people have grown up with it, and it has inspired many of today's most talented cartoonists. The sixteenth and final volume of Phil mon was released in 2013, before Fred's passing.
