Edgar P. Jacobs Boeken
30 maart 1904 – 20 februari 1987
Oorspronkelijk een begenadigd operazanger, ontdekte deze auteur zijn passie voor tekenen toen omstandigheden hem van het podium wegvoerden. Na jaren in de reclame en illustratie te hebben gewerkt, wijdde hij zich aan de wereld van de stripverhalen, een medium dat hij aanvankelijk met minachting beschouwde, maar dat hem uiteindelijk grote bekendheid bracht. Zijn kenmerkende werken tonen twee typische Britse heren die verwikkeld zijn in spannende avonturen vol wetenschappelijke mysteries en gedurfde conflicten, vaak tegenover een briljante aartsvijand. Zijn artistieke stijl wordt gekenmerkt door nauwgezette details en ingewikkelde verhalen die de lezer onderdompelen in een boeiend universum van spionage en ontdekking.
