Alain Sikorski

Alain Sikorski (born February 3, 1959 in Liège ) is a Belgian comic artist .

Life

The son of a Polish father and a Belgian mother spent the first sixteen years of his life in Tehran . After training in printing and completing his military service in Germany, he worked in the advertising industry for three years. After a failed attempt to set up his own studio, he started drawing comics in the late 1980s.

Thanks to an order from a steelworks in Liege to illustrate dry accident reports with humorous pictures, he had found a taste for drawing picture stories. In the early 1990s he received a telephone request from the comic book writer Denis Lapière , who suggested that he continue the series Tif et Tondu (English: Harry and Platte ) , which had been supervised by Will and Stephen Desberg until then . Sikorski accepted and in the following years he drew a total of six album-length adventures based on scenarios by Lapiere for the series.

When the traditional series, which had appeared in Spirou magazine since 1938 , was discontinued in 1997, the Sikorski / Lapiere duo decided to continue their collaboration and to try their own series in the future. The detective series La Clé du Mystère , launched in 2000, is an ambitious project based on the “ Whodunits ” of the 1930s, in which the reader can try to determine the murderer based on the clues built into the story before the heroes Alex and Keli decipher the secret. By 2005, five albums had been released in the series. Since 2007 Sikorski has been drawing the Funny Garage Isidore for Spirou , which includes comical experiences around a car repair shop.

At the moment there are no comics drawn by Alain Sikorski in German translation.
