J. M. Lofficier",after the initials of both spouses.

Biography

Jean-Marc Lofficier was born inToulon,France, in 1954. The son of aserviceman,he moved several times during his formative years, spending "a goodly part of my childhood in Bordeaux, and my teenage years in Fontainebleau".^[1]A budding writer from an early age, Lofficier also "drew my own littlecomic stripswhen I was 13, 14, and began being published in French 'zinesat 16. "^[1]Recalling in 2005 that "writing wasn't deemed a respectable, economically sound way of making a living," he got an MBA and a law degree, then went to work in international banking.^[1]

Graduating from theParis 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne Universityand fromESCP Europebusiness school in 1978, Jean-Marc Lofficier worked forBarclays Bankin Paris for a year before being hired byCrédit Lyonnaisand moving to Los Angeles, California, U.S., where he met Randy. Jean-Marc and Randy were married the following year.^[1]Jean-Marc recalled in 2005 that their writing partnership developed alongside their personal relationship; "Randy always wanted to write... [so] it evolved organically in a mutually complementary working relationship.".^[1]

Jean-Marc left Crédit Lyonnais in 1985 to join Starwatcher Graphics, a new company set up by French artistMœbiusand his wife Claudine, then living inSanta Monica, California.After Mœbius returned to France, and Starwatcher Graphics was disbanded in 2000, the Lofficiers started their own company, Hollywood Comics,^[2]which advises and counsels comic book professionals in their dealings with Hollywood. Jean-Marc and Randy moved toChalabre,in the south of France, in 2005.

Magazines and Hollywood

In 1979, the Lofficiers built on Jean-Marc's earlier work for fanzines and French magazines – includingLunatiqueandL'Écran fantastique,for which he wrote a combination of articles, reviews and short stories – and began working as "film journalists" for a variety of "cinema/sfpro magazines. "^[1]Covering the Hollywood-based film industry (and particularly those aspects with a Sci-Fi or Fantasy bent), the Lofficiers wrote for a number of magazines created both for American and overseas audiences.

Their work appeared in such mainstream U.S. publications asStarlog,Cinefex,Heavy MetalandAmerican Cinematographer,as well as more focused publications includingT. E. D. Klein'sThe Twilight Zone Magazine.Overseas, the Lofficiers' work appeared in United Kingdom magazines includingDez Skinn'sStarburst(the magazine of "Science Fantasy in Television, Cinema and Comix" ) andHouse of Hammer,^[1]while in France, they continued to contribute toL'Écran fantastique.

Guides, books and novels

The Lofficiers' magazine work, which included short stories, retrospectives and TV program guides alongside journalistic articles, led naturally to them co-authoring a number of non-fiction books about film and television programs. Their first –The Doctor Who Programme Guide,published byW. H. Allenin 1981 – arose from their work for French magazineL'Écran fantastique.The pair produced

"a series of dossiers on SF TV series for L'Ecran Fantastique:The Prisoner,Star Trek,Twilight Zoneand...Doctor Who.For that [Who] dossier [Jean-Marc Lofficier] interviewedTerrance DicksandGraham Williams.Then I sent them a courtesy copy. Terrance passed it on to Christine Donougher at W. H. Allen who saw an opportunity to publish it as a book. "^[1]

This title in turn led to the Lofficiers producing severalnovelizationsand editing variousanthologiesof science fiction and fantasy short stories.

Animation and comics

In 1985, Randy Lofficier completedHarry Love's Animation Writing Seminar atHanna-Barbera,which led the Lofficiers to write a number of animation scripts for television series such asThe Real GhostbustersandDuck Tales.They also began to write numerous scripts for a variety of comic books, often in collaboration with other writers, notablyRoy ThomasandMarv Wolfman,for bothMarvel ComicsandDC Comics.Their best-known works include a trilogy of DCElseworldsbased onGerman Expressionismcinema incorporating characters such asSuperman,BatmanandWonder Woman,theBook of the Vishantiback-up feature forDoctor Strange:Sorcerer Supreme,two stories forClive Barker’sHellraiser,and theTongue*Lashseries forDark Horse Comics.

From 2000 to 2003, Jean-Marc Lofficier was editor and senior writer of a line of French comic books published bySemic Comics,redeveloping old French characters from the 1960s such asWampus,Kabur,Phenix,Homicron,DragutandDick Demoninto more modern versions, even gathering a number of them in the mini-seriesStrangerspublished byImage Comicsin 2003.^[3]This universe of characters is now gathered asHexagon Comics.The Lofficiers also wrote "Blood Oath", a crossover between Phenix andTop Cow'sWitchblade.^[4]^[5]Starting in 2010, the Lofficiers started to reprint the "classic" stories from the 1960s and 1970s in a series of black & white trade paperbacks, as well as write new stories, mostly by relaunching the comic-bookStrangers.Since that date, Jean-Marc has been editor-in-chief ofHexagon Comics.

Also for the French comic market, the Lofficiers wrote a trilogy of graphic novels based on the character ofRoburcreated byJules Verne.Illustrated byGil Formosa,the first two volumes were nominated for the 2005Jules Verne Awardfor Bandes Dessinees.^[6]There were published in English inHeavy Metal.

Translation

In 1985, the Lofficiers were hired by French artist Moebius to translate and arrange for the publication of his works in English. This led to a series of 30+graphic novelspublished mostly byEpic Comicsuntil 1995. During that time, the Lofficiers also translated numerous French comics forDark Horse Comics,co-editing their comicCheval Noir,and forRenegade Press,co-editing their comicFrench Ice,featuring the seriesCarmen Cruby French artistJean-Marc Lelong.In 1990, in recognition of their career as writers, translators and editors, the Lofficiers were presented with theInkpot Awardfor Outstanding Achievement in Comic Arts.

Pulps and science fiction

In 2003, the Lofficiers created their own small press,Black Coat Press,^[7]to translate and publish classics of French pulp literature into English, relying in part on the output of British writer/translatorBrian Stableford.

In 2005, the Lofficiers started another small press,Rivière Blanche[fr],^[8]to publish French science fiction novels in the nostalgic style of the long-defunctAnticipationimprint ofEditions Fleuve Noir.

Lofficier's official website includes a section entitled "Illustrated History of the French Saint Novels", a guide to French-language novels based upon the character ofSimon Templar(alias "The Saint" ), created byLeslie Charteris.^[9]
