Graduated in communication, Edmond Tourriol has dedicated himself to the world of comics of superheroes through Marvel and DC Comics.
During his studies in communication in Bordeaux, he developed the fanzine W.O.L.F, a magazine about heavy metal. This experience will help him learn how to lead a team and create a layout. Following the creation of this magazine, he founded Climax Comics studios with his former partner Olivier Dejeufosse.
He published with Climax Studios more than 50 fanzines and wrote some of his own comics Reflex and Zero Force. In 2001, he set up his advertising agency Clark System Innovation in partnership with Stephan Boschat. That same year he became a comic book translator for Semic Editions. For the French market he has translated many comic-books such as Superman, Batman, Teen Titans, Invincible, The Walking Dead, Beautiful Killer for Semic and Bamboo editions. In 2003, he founded Makma studios which gather more than 30 comic-book professionals (writers, artists, inkers, colorists, letterers...). They work in free-lance for various publishers in the U.S and in France. In 2004 he sets up SuperPouvoir.com with Nicolas Duverneuil which is now one of the main comic-book websites in France.
In addition to being a translator, he is a comic scriptwriter. Also, he has recently resumed his career as a writer.

He also wrote the soccer-related humoristic comic book called Banc de Touche with Dan Fernandes. The two first volumes of this comic book (La bande à Raymond and Le Grand Fiasco) are inspired by the difficulties experiences by the French soccer team under the management of Raymond Domenech. The series was first published in the sport magazine L'Équipe.
