Didier Vasseur Art for Sale and Sold Prices

b. 1958 -

Born in Béthune on September 29, 1958, Didier van Wyk, said to facet, will prove to be one of the most subversive cartoonists of the late twentieth century, diverting things from the life of a couple of French ways to draw from mini-epics delirious in his famous " Raymond Calbuth ".

This character was launched in the magazine Métropoche, a small publication of local information lilloises of which he was editor in chief from 1983 to 1986, after studies in law and journalism. By dint of willpower and work, he will gradually invent a graphic writing of great efficiency, with personal style. Calbuth will make a stopover in pilot, then pass by Glénat in 1987. Facet will focus on dynamiting the classic designs of humour. He parodies the traditional adventure hero in three episodes of "Raoul Fulgurex", designed by Dominique Gelli for Glénat. He tries the comic strips with "The Dick to urban" and "Holy Jesus! ", two volumes at dawn with revealing titles.

The most iconoclastic publishing houses are ripping off his visions of characters alternating grotesquely accomplished and great tragedies of life in society: "The Damned of the Earth " (semi-realist narratives at De la Leon in 1987), the series of misadventures Wacky of "Jean-Claude Tergal " (at Audie since 1990), "France at the bottom of the eyes" in the magazine The Echo of Savannas, the scenario of "Welcome to welcome Land " For Al Coutélis (at icy fluid/Audie en 1998) and that of "Patacrèpe and Couillalère "For Gelli at dawn.

Now assured of having the sides on his side, he abandons himself occasionally to more serious works, such as "The district fainted " on the screenplay of Anne Sibran (Glénat, 1994) or the very flower blue "You and Me" (Day, 1998).
