Jean Bellus original comic art

Jean Bellus was a mid-20th century French illustrator and comics artist. Born in 1911 in Toulouse, Bellus had several jobs before pursuing a career in illustration. He debuted in Marianne in 1933, and subsequently collaborated with La Lessive, Pour Vous, Le Sourire and Candide. For Benjamin magazine, he produced the comic 'Georgie, Laurel et Hardy' between 1937 and 1939. World War II put his activities hold. Returning from captivation, he went to work as a decorator, costumier and music-hall actor. After the Liberation in 1944, he reassumed his job as an illustrator, and cooperated with J. Magazine, Point de Vue, La Bataille and Fantasia.
