Bruno Bessadi got his interest in comics through reading Pif Gadget and US comics. His initial desire to become a veterinarian was cut short due to failing results, and he thus went on to study Applied Arts. He began his career by doing advertising assignments, while participating in amateur dawing contests and publishing his comic drawings in the Kérozène fanzine, that he created with some friends in 1994. His first professional experience as a comic artist came in 1997, when he started contributing black humour stories to Golem magazine.
