from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Cuvelier (born November 22, 1923 in Lens , † August 5, 1978 in Mont-sur-Marchienne ) was a Belgian cartoonist .

Career

Cuvelier, who published his first drawing in Le Petit Vingtième magazine at the age of seven , attended the art academy in Mons before Hergé introduced him to the medium of comics. The first comic he drew was entitled Le Canyon Mystérieux and was written by Hergé and Edgar P. Jacobs , who published under the community pseudonym "Olav". Cuvelier was one of the founders of Tintin magazine , for which he contributed the Corentin comic series set in India (with texts by Jacques van Melkebeke) from its first issue . Other writers Cuvelier worked with at Corentin included Greg , Jacques Acar, and Jean Van Hamme .

Between 1950 and 1958, Cuvelier, the 1947 advertising drawings for the chocolate brand turned Côte d'Or had made the painting and sculpture to and did not publish comics. This was followed by more stories from Corentin with a title hero who had matured. More comics emerged in the 1960s, including Flamme d'Argent , Wapi and the adult comic book Epoxy . After a long illness that also affected his professional activities, Cuvelier died in 1978.

Andreas C. Knigge counts Cuvelier to the "pioneering pioneers and great masters of Belgian comics".
