Georges Lévis

Jean Sidobre studied fine arts in Paris. After World War II, Jean Sidobre started a career in illustrating, adapting the pseudonym Sainclair. He cooperated on among others Marius, Ce Soir and Nous Deux. In 1949, he took on the pseudonym Sylvia and did his first comics work in Éva magazine. Sidobre was then present in Le Hérisson, where he did a comics adaptation of 'OSS 177'. In L'Intrépide, he illustrated series like 'Steve Hollygan' (1958-1960) and 'Jim Dynamic' (1958-1959) under his own signature. He took on the title comic of the magazine Mireille, and illustrated various works at Hachette and Heauval. From 1971, he illustrated 'Mademoisselle Caroline' with text by N. Ferren at the S.F.P.I. A year later, he drew a comic adaptation of the television series 'Daktari'. In addition, he was present on the British market with contributions to Patty magazine.

In 1978, Jean Sidobre took on the pseudonym Georges Lévis and specialized in erotic comics. Among his earliest creations were the adventures of 'Liz et Beth', published in Bédé Adult and in album form by Neptune, Glénat and Dominique Leroy. Also for publisher Leroy, he did adaptations of 'Petites Filles Modèles' (1982) and 'L'École des Biches' (1984). In 1985, Lévis was present in Charlie Mensuel with 'Mémoires d'une Entraîneuse' with text by Michel Denni and Philippe Mellot. He teamed up with Francis Leroi and created 'Les Perles de l'Amour' and 'Dodo, 13 Ans' in L'Écho des Savanes. His final work was 'Crimes et Délits' with text by Tony Hawkee in J'Ose monthly. This work remained unfinished, because Sibodre passed away in 1988.
