By inserting contemporary photographs and illustrations into panels he pioneered photo comics in his country. He originally followed scripts written by Tibor Cs. Horvath, Jozsef Hunyady and Peter Kuczka. From 1975 on he did the scriptwork himself.In 1980 the artist started making a series of watercolour paintings which depict the intimate atmosphere of Taban, a district not far from the city Buda (nowadays Budapest), which had been demolished in the 1920s. The polymath artist was also a gifted singer and piano player. Zorad was the only Hungarian comic artist who remained popular and respected throughout his entire career. As early as 1947 he had his first exhibition in Budapest. At the International Caricature Exhibition in Vienna (1955) he received an award. In 2000 he was honored with the Order of Merit of the Hungarian Republic (Officer Grade). Late in his career, at the age of 86, he still showed his skill with 'Die Verschwundene Miniatur' (1997), an adaptation of Erich Kastner's novel of the same name. Leaving behind more than 300 comics, he passed away at the age of 93, on 8 April 2004, in Budapest.
