Alec Séverin, or simply Al Severin, was born in Ixelles into an artistic family. He debuted in 1981 with the self-published 'l'Affaire Tchang' under the name Oncle Guy. In 1985, his comics 'Story of War' and 'Gratin' were published by Deligne. In that same year, Severin started his series 'Lisette', about a "poor rich girl", which was eventually published by Delcourt. Severin participated in a couple of collective albums ('Brel', 'Entrechats', etc) and drew short stories and the strips 'Isaline et Jean-Luc' (with Sergio Salma) for Tintin Reporter. He was also present in Spirou with collaborations with a.o. Fabrizzio Borrini and Fabien Vehlmann, as well as the pun series 'Lisa Desamour' by the fake artist Bari.
