BiographyEdit

Tardi was born on 30 August 1946 in Valence, Drôme. After graduating from the École nationale des beaux-arts de Lyon and the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris, he started drawing comics in 1969, at the age of 23, in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Pilote, initially illustrating short stories written by Jean Giraud and Serge de Beketch, before creating the political fiction story Rumeur sur le Rouergue from a scenario by Pierre Christin in 1972. Tardi especially gained fame and recognition with his graphic novels about the horror and misery of The First World War, like It Was The War of the Trenches. <ref name="lambiek">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=Casterman/>

In 2013, Tardi was nominated as a Chevalier in France's Legion of Honour, the country's highest distinction.<ref>Décret du 31 décembre 2012 portant promotion et nominationTemplate:In lang</ref> However, he turned down the distinction, citing that he will "remain a free man and not be held hostage by any power whatsoever."<ref>AFP, via Le Figaro: "Jacques Tardi refuse la légion d'honneur", 2 January 2013.Template:In lang</ref>
