Joseph Béhé is the pen name of Joseph Griesmar, a comic artist born in Alsace and educated at the School of Decorative Arts in Strassbourg. He worked in the atelier of Claude Lapointe, head of the Academy's illustration section, and learned the finer points of several artforms, including painting and sculpting. While still studying, Béhé had his first professional assignments. In 1986 he met Toff, a science researcher, with whom he created 'Péché Mortel,' a political fiction in which a deadly virus ruins planet earth. Finally, in 1989, Dargaud accepted this comic and published it in Pilote.
