Publication History
The character first appeared in the comics magazine Record on January 15, 1962. After four years, the strip shifted to Goscinny's magazine in Pilote in 1968. Initially, the Iznogoud series was named Les aventures du Calife Haroun el Poussah, but it was eventually decided that Haroun El Poussah was too weak a character to be the focal character of the comic strip. The title was then passed on to Iznogoud, despite that he is the villain.
