Synopsis pour le Journal de Spirou, circa 1960.

Francis Bertrand, who signed with only his first name, was an artist from the "Marcinelle school", who drew most of his oeuvre for the Belgian magazine Spirou. Born in Uccle, he created his first comic, 'Many Vail', for La Cité in 1957. He then assisted Greg on the comic strips starring 'Luc Junior' and 'Toutsy', that were published in La Dernière Heure and La Libre Belgique. Text (c) Lambiek
