In 1969, the team decided to change their monthly publication to a weekly one. Gébé and Cabu returned. In February 1969, ''Hara-kiri-hebdo'' is launched, and then named ''L'hebdo hara-kiri'' in May of the same year. |

In November of 1970, ] died, ten days before a club fire caused the death of 146. The newspaper released a cover entitled "Tragic Ball at Colombey, one dead." As a result, the journal was once more interdicted, this time by the ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
To keep their journal from being permanently banned, the team decided to change its title. It became ''Charlie Hebdo.'' The new title came from a monthly magazine called ''Charlie,'' which had been started by Bernier and de Ton in 1968, and also a reference to de Gaulle. ''Charlie'' took its name from the lead character of ]. |

|
|
In December 1981, the publication ceased, owing to a lack of readers. |

From a historical standpoint, there is no direct continuity between the ''Charlie Hebdo'' of 1992 and that of its earlier years. |
|
|
|
|
|
Gébé, Cabu, and Val collaborated on ''The Gross Bertha,'' a weekly magazine created in 1991, which did not share a bond with ''Hara-Kiri / Charlie Hebdo.'' |
|
|
Later, the three called upon Cavanna, de Ton and Wolinski, requesting their help and input. They agreed without hesitation. |
|
|
Soon after, while searching for a new title over dinner, Wolinski proposed ''Charlie Hebdo,'' which was immediately accepted. |
|
|
|
|
|
Thus, the publication of the new ''Charlie Hebdo'' began in July of 1992. It profited from the notoriety of its namesake, and was treated as a republication of old. It is said that the first issue sold 100,000 copies. |
|
|
|
|
|
Professeur Choron tried to restart a weekly ''Hara-Kiri,'' but its publication was short-lived. |

|
In the new ''Charlie Hebdo,'' Val, Gébé and Cabu hold all the responsibilities. Val serves as editor and Gébé as artistic director. Under Val's direction, the journal carries an extreme leftist view. |
|
|
|
|
|
It is felt that the current publication does not have continuity or stability, and several collaborators have left the newspaper. |
|
|
|
|
|
It is published every Wednesday and sometimes issues a few editions variably. |
|
|
|
|
|
''Charlie Hebdo'' is respected as being nonconformist and liberal, and remains symbolic of the press having a certain freedom of tone, which is uncommon in France. |

Following the death of Gébé, Val succeeded him as director of the publication, while still holding his position as editor. |

Instant controversey arose over this publication's front page publication of a cartooon of a weeping Prophet Mohammed saying "it's hard to be loved by fools" during the ] of 2006 originally started by the publication of a set of cartoons in a Danish newspaper in 2005 later to be reprinted in various other European papers.
