More sad news. Sebchoq has just informed me of the death of Eddy
Pappe. I first became aware of Paape’s work in the 1970s when Zack comic published the brilliant Luc Orient.
The following is by Gilles Ratier on BD Zoom -http://www.bdzoom.com the site also has a Paape gallery for those interested. THANKS to Ratier and BD Zoom.
Eddy Paape was born in Grivegnée (Belgium) July 3, 1920. He studied
drawing at the Institute of Fine Arts Saint-Luc in Brussels. From 1942
he worked with Franquin, Morris and Peyo in a cartoon studio. In 1945,
when the studio was forced to close its doors, he began painting, then
joined his former colleagues to Dupuis.
Eddy Paape there illustrations for women’s magazine Good Evening, and then assists Jijé who entrusted him with the resumption of his series “Jean Valhardi” published in the magazine Spirou.
It animates the character from 1946 to 1954 on scenarios of Jean Doisy,
Yvan Delporte and Jean-Michel Charlier. In 1951, at the initiative of
the World’s Press Agency, he designed the first “Lucky Stories of Uncle
Paul,” a series of short comic scripted by Jean-Michel Charlier, for Spirou. In 1956, he launched the detective “Andre Lefort” in the journal Risk-All, again with Jean-Michel Charlier. In 1958, with the same writer, he began the series ‘Marc Dacier’ in Spirou, then collaborated with magazines and Driver Record, from 1959 to 1965.
In 1966, at the invitation of his friend Greg,editor of Tintin magazine,
Eddy Paape entered by Editions du Lombard. Together, they derive a
series of science fiction “Luc East” (eighteen albums reissued in full
by Editions du Lombard, in 2008) and “Tommy Banco” (two episodes).
Scenario-André-Paul Duchateau, Eddy Paape also illustrates, “Yorik
Storm” in 1971 and in 1978, he co-designs “Udolfo” with Andreas, the
newspaper of children 7 to 77 years.
In 1988, with Jean Dufaux and Jean-Claude Sohier, he directed “The
Garden of Fear” fantasy series published in albums by Dargaud, in 1991,
he launched the series “Detective Carol” written by André-Paul Duchateau
Hello Bede in (at Lombard). A year later, the duo Greg Paape-recoupled and creates “Johnny Congo” for Lefrancq editions.
From 1969-76, Eddy Paape has taught alongside the comic at the Institut Saint-Luc and the Academy of Fine Arts of St. Gilles in Brussels. Its course are several big names from the current ninth art, such Andreas, Schuiten, Grenson, Godi, Berthet, Cossu, Dugomier, Wurm, Desorgher ….
In 2008, The Lombard devotes, the designer of “Luc East”, a monograph richly illustrated with photographs and graphics often unpublished, “Eddy Paape, the passion of the page after” results from the affectionate admiration of Andrew Paape for his father and talents of Alain De Kuyssche biographer, expert in comics and privileged witness, as he was the editor of the magazine Spirou.
Obviously, bdzoom.com joins the pain of his wife, his son, his family and loved ones.
Until we do a more detailed feedback on his prolific career, you can always read the “Heritage Corner” dedicated to this memorable series of science fiction that was “Luc East”:
