Biography

Eddy Paape was born in

Franco-Belgian comics magazine Spirou. Paape illustrated the series from 1946 until 1954, working with famous European comics authors Jean-Michel Charlier and Yvan Delporte.[2]

Paape became an artist for the World Press syndicate, continuing to illustrate comics, mainly for Spirou. World Press Syndicate was a Belgian syndicate, based on the model of American syndicates like King Features Syndicate, and its main authors were writer Charlier and artist Victor Hubinon. Paape assisted them on their series Buck Danny and the pirate biography Surcouf. For many years, the style of Paape would be a clear mixture of the influence of Jijé and Hubinon.[2] In 1958 Paape created Marc Dacier, a series written by Charlier.

Paape's best-known collaboration began in 1966, when he created the

Greg. This series, published in Tintin
magazine, became very popular and ran through 18 adventures.

In 1969 Paape began teaching draughtsmanship for comics at the Institut Saint-Luc art school in Brussels, where he remained until 1976.[2]
