Tribute to the Franco-Belgian-Italo Comic Scene from the 20th century.

Imagine stepping into a world where Tintin and his loyal companion Snowy embark on daring adventures that spark the imagination. This artwork pays tribute to the timeless creations of Hergé (Georges Remi). Tintin’s globe-trotting escapades, crafted with meticulous detail and the distinctive ligne claire style, captured not just stories but hearts.

Another cherished character… Corto Maltese, the enigmatic creation of Italian visionary Hugo Pratt. First appearing in 1967, Corto Maltese became the epitome of the anti-hero, navigating historical crossroads with a noble spirit amidst uncertain allegiances.

And then there’s Spirou, born from Robert Velter’s boundless creativity. Spirou and his loyal companion Fantasio brought joy and excitement through humorous and innovative escapades that captivated young hearts.

Lucky Luke, the sharpshooting cowboy of Morris (Maurice De Bevere), painted vivid landscapes of the Old West with wit and satire. Blake and Mortimer, from Edgar P. Jacobs, blended science fiction and detective mystery into thrilling narratives.

Lastly, Gaston, André Franquin’s embodiment of comedic chaos, brought laughter and lightness to the pages. His misadventures and inventive spirit added a playful touch to our client’s fondest memories of diving into comic book worlds.

This colorful artwork celebrates these iconic characters and honors the cherished childhood memories they represent. It’s a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the deep emotional connection for these beloved comics, weaving together nostalgia, creativity, and a timeless love for comic art.
