After working as a commercial artist, André Amouriq began his career in comics. He started out retouching American material for the pocket publications of Impéria. He published his first stories in pockets like Ringo and Nic et Loup, published by S.E.P.P., as well as Ranger, Rex and Rhapsodie, for which he drew 'Baf' in 1975. For the publisher Lug, he drew stories with 'Le Petit Trappeur' from 1978 through the late 1980s, and several installments in the series 'Blek le Roc'. He drew an episode of 'Mikros' in Mustang and in a more adult register, he drew 'Titi Fricoteur' in Bédé Adult, using the pseudonym Gast.
