Roger Leloup
Roger Leloup (born November 17, 1933 in Verviers ) is a Belgian comic artist .
Career
He drew his first comic around 1953 and from 1950 worked with Jacques Martin on his series Alix . From around 1955 to 1969, Leloup helped the Tintin series comics at Studio Hergé to provide more technical details.
His next project for the comic magazine Spirou was supposed to be his life's work: the comics about the Japanese electronics specialist Yoko Tsuno . He is still working on this 29-volume series to this day. In March 2020, the latest album to date (Volume 29: Yoko Tsuno - Engel und Falken ) was released in German. Volumes 1–27 are available in German with extensive additional material on the creation of the albums as a complete edition. The first eight hardcover albums are not arranged chronologically but thematically; the ninth includes albums 25 to 27. Apart from the last volume, single issues are only available in German translation in antiquarian versions.
In 1989 Leloup published his first novel, Le pic des ténèbres (literally: The summit of darkness ). In this science fiction story, the android Tyo ended up on earth in 1313, where she copied the figure of a young woman named Ambre and then joined Ambre in search of the "Prince of Light" who got out of control other androids. The novel won the Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire in 1990 for best youth novel. 20 years later, Leloup wrote a sequel to Le pic des ténèbres under the title Le signe de Kadha , which has not yet been published.
In 1991 Roger Leloup published a novel about the youth of his fictional heroine Yoko Tsuno in addition to the comic series. It has so far only appeared in French under the title L'Écume de l'aube .
