Jacques Laudy peinture

Jacques Laudy was a Belgian comic artist and painter, and one of the original artists of Tintin magazine, together with Hergé, Edgar P. Jacobs and Paul Cuvelier. Largely because his oeuvre was limited to publications in magazines, as well as the fact that he left the comics industry in the 1960s, Laudy is however often overlooked in the history of Hergé's "Brussels school". Éditions Le Lombard never featured Laudy's work in its album collections, and it wasn't until the 1970s and 1980s that smaller publishers released his comics in book format, although with a limited print run.
