LAMBEAU FRANS

CEFAL

What is the situation of Belgian comics at the end of the Second World War? This is the question that Frans Lambeau tackles in a fascinating and richly illustrated essay. The 340 entries in his dictionary thus form an exhaustive panorama of the phenomenon of comics from 1945 to the end. A decisive period marked by the renewal of publishing and the emergence of emblematic figures such as Blake and Mortimer, Spirou and Fantasio, Bob and Bobeile and many others. A specialist in Belgian comics, Frans Lambeau is notably the author of a first dictionary (Le Dictionnaire illustré de la bande dessinée belge sous l'Occupation) published in 2013 by André Versaille.
