Franco Pilotta's initial focus was doing painted illustration work, but he eventually turned to comics. After some abandoned projects, he returned to illustration however. Later on, he was assigned by Noir Dessin to illustrate a story about the legend of Gilles de Chin in the collective album 'Wallonie Terre de Légendes'. He then teamed up with the writers Erkol Fuat and Christian Simon and started the heroic fantasy series 'La Marque du Démon' at Albin Michel.
