About Yvan Delporte
Yvan Delporte was the editor-in-chief of Spirou during the heyday of this comic weekly (1955-1968). It was during his tenure that the pages of the Belgian weekly were filled by the classic "School of Marcinelle", consisting of André Franquin, Morris, Peyo, Will, Maurice Tillieux, Jean Roba and Jidéhem. Delporte's free spirit and preference for crazy ideas paved the way for many legendary creations, such as the mini-books in the magazine's center and the fictionalized depictions of Spirou's offices in the 'Gaston Lagaffe' comic and his editorials. Delporte furthermore wrote an impressive lot of comic strips, both for Dupuis and other publishers.
