Predrag Lucić was born in 1964 in Split. His paternal grandfather was a Partisan whose stories about Partisan battles were often told in the family. Unlike Predrag Lucić's grandfather, his grandfather's brother was a member of the Croatian Home Guard and during the Second World War he went missing in Bleiburg. That family heritage burdened the family significantly. Predrag Lucić's father went to Germany to work, where he remained until his death in 1991. In 1984 Predrag Lucić started his studies at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, where he studied theatre and radio directing. He returned to Croatia in 1988 and in 1989 he started collaborating with the Nedjeljna Dalmacija newspaper, working on a satirical supplement called Feral. In 1990 he, together with the supplement, now called the Feral Tribune, moved to Slobodna Dalmacija, where he reported both on the build-up to war and later on the war itself. In March 1993 he left Slobodna Dalmacija and, together with a group of his colleagues, started Feral Tribune, a now independent satirical political twice monthly magazine. He was the editor-in-chief of the first few editions of the magazine. In December 1993, Feral Tribune became a weekly publication. From then and until Feral's demise in 2008, Lucić worked as the magazine's editor, as well as authoring articles, editing the magazine's Internet pages, creating photomontages and writing and editing various sections. He also founded the "Feral Tribune Bibliotheque". He published works of poetry and prose, as well as dramatic texts in various magazines, such as "Fantom slobode", "Sarajevske sveske", "Naše pismo" and others. He is a member of the Croatian Writers Society and the Croatian P.E.N. Centre.
