Mario Boon original comic art

Mario Boon was born in Sint-Truiden. At the age of 17, he self-published an album of penguin gags. After two more penguin books, the series was bought up by publisher Hans Matla from The Hague. Boon then enrolled at the Sint-Lucas School of Arts in Ghent and graduated in illustration and design. He found employment with Studio 100, where he worked for two years, while also doing illustration work for children's books and magazines.
