After following an art education at the École Supérieure des Arts Saint-Luc in Liège, Francis Carin began his career in the mid-1970s with working for some advertising magazines. In 1976, he started contributing to Pourquoi Pas?, and two years later, he did his first comics work for Spirou magazine. He assisted Arthur Piroton on 'Les Casseurs de Bois', and later started his own series, 'Les Diables Bleus', with scenarist Michel Pierret. In addition, Carin made a number of short stories for Tintin in several genres, including western, science fiction and humor.
