Page 22 signed Some cases of this page reminded me of the illustration that I own and show in my "Le Gall Illustration" section in my 2D Gallery. In my view Frank Le Gall did a brilliant job by moving the design from the Spirou et Fantasio world a bit into the "Ligne claire" area (although this attempt seems to be not undisputed).
Born in Rouen, Frank le Gall published his first works in Pistil in 1977-78. Shortly afterwards, he joined Spirou magazine with 'Valry Bonpain', a series about a jazz musician, which he made with Alain Clement. A few years later, he started his most famous series, the mysterious 'Théodore Poussin'. In addition to his work for Spirou, Le Gall made 'Yoyo' for Circus with Yann in 1985 and 'Les Petits Contes Noirs' for Schtroumpf in 1992 (in cooperation with his brother Pierre).
