Benoît Roels original comic art

Benoît Roels attended the Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels, where he specialized in comic art. He graduated in 1988, and began studies in Roman Philology as back-up plan when his career in comics wouldn't succeed. He was assigned by the publishing house Lombard to draw a series of comic adaptations of the Jean-Louis Foncine novel series 'Les Pays Perdus' with writer Jean-François di Giorgio for the collection Signe de Piste. He additionally made illustrations for the novel 'Les Vergnes de l'Ognon', and created stage set designs for Brussel's fantasy film festival. In 1993, he worked with Di Giorgio again to create the comic story 'Les Fous de Monk' in Hello Bédé.
