Nikola Witko was raised in Maubeuge in the north of France in the 1970s. He went to Tournai in Belgium for his studies in Fine Arts. He founded the Hécatombes collective in Brussels in the 1990s, and began contributing to several fanzines. He released comix with small publishing labels, like Brükt Productions ( 'L'enfant-nuit' and 'L'Homme est-t-il con?') and Pas de Chance Editions ('Fulbert Cervo'). He eventually also saw his work published in reviews like Jade (by 6 Pieds Sous Terre), Lapin (by L'Association), Bile Noire (by Atrabile) and Ferraille (by Les Requins Marteaux). Witko specialized himself in ironic and sadistic fables in black and white.
