posted December 24, 2009
Jean-Marie Brouyère, a veteran French-language comics industry writer who was also a skilled artist,
died on December 10. Brouyère first started working on comics in the latter half of the 1960s, with work on the
Onomatopax and
Toutouffu series in
Tintin. In the 1970s, he became best known for his work in
Spirou. He began with a work he fully cartooned called
Al Alo but then became a writer on such series as the Charles Bronson-reminiscent
Archie Cash (with the artist Malik), which lasted from 1971 to 1987. Other assignements included
Aymone and
Naufrages de l'Escalator. He was frequently paired with younger artists.
Brouyère left the field in the 1980s to pursue other interests.
