About The Author

Franquin

A Belgian cartoonist from the Golden Age of comics, André Franquin was as important and influential throughout his career as Hergé, moulding and training dozens of artists through his long years at Spirou magazine.

As a sign of his popularity, he received the very first Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême in 1974.
