In the meantime he created illustrations for advertisements, storyboards and children s books. He also designed "Les aventures de Nahomi" for the Lombard editions (a new integral volume was published in January 2009).
He eventually had the major turning point in his career by entering into heroic fantasy and creating "L Epée de Cristal" which turned out to be a 5-volume series (100,000 copies per book). Ever since, comic book has filled most of his time and he has created characters such as: Cosmos Milady, Lorette and Harpye, Perdita Queen, Kookaburra and finally Atalante which confirmed his talent and overall success.
