Zep
Zep (born December 15, 1967) is the pseudonym of Philippe Chappuis, a comics creator from Switzerland, known for his series ''Titeuf'', a popular character in French-speaking countries, and ''Tchô!'', the associated Franco-Belgian comics magazine.
==Biography==
Chappuis' pseudonym derives from the first BD magazine he created at age twelve, named "Zep" in honour of Led Zeppelin (a fan of Bob Dylan, references to his musical tastes are often found in his comics). His career began with gags published in ''Spirou'' magazine in 1987, and the character ''Victor'' which started appearing in 1988.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Zep )〕
At first struggling to find publication, the series ''Titeuf'' was initially published in the fanzine ''Sauve qui peut'' (''"Escape those who can"'') before it was noticed by Glénat executive Jean-Claude Camano.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Émission du 22 mars )〕 Zep joined Glénat in 1992, and first ''Titeuf'' book ''Dieu, le sexe et les bretelles'' (''God, Sex And Suspenders'') appeared in 1993 and sold only a few thousand copies, but the following books have gradually won over a huge readership, outselling traditional French favorites such as ''Astérix'' and ''Lucky Luke''. Today 11 million copies of the series have been sold, and the series is considered the greatest moneymaker in the French comics market. ''Titeuf'' books have been translated into 15 languages, including Chinese, Italian and German. In the UK, Titeuf appeared under the name ''Tootuff'' in ''The Dandy''.
The name "Titeuf" ostensibly derives from French ''tête d'oeuf'' (egg-head), but it could also be the familiar, contracted and inverted (verlan) form of ''petite fête'' (little party).
