Paul Deliege, 1931-2005

Veteran artist-writer Paul Deliege passed away the evening of July 6-7. He was a prominent Belgium-born artist and writer was considered a peer of Peyo and Roba as a fellow member of the "Ecole de Charleroi." and was one of the foundational talents for Spirou. His most prolific era seems to have come in doing a number of recurring short features for Spirou, including Bobo, a character he created with Maurice Rosy. Bobo would continue to appear in the magazine and in albums until Deliege's retirement in 1996. There is a French-language biography and bibliography for Deliege here, and his entry at Lambiek seems very complete and should give you a picture of his career accomplishments.
