www.afnews.info segnala: Jacques Martin (25 September 1921 – 21 January 2010, France) was one of the best-known artists of the Clear Line (or ‘ligne claire’) school of comics exemplified by Hergé and Willie Vandersteen.
He created ‘The Adventures of Alix’ first in “Tintin” in late 1948 and for fifty years continued to write and draw stories of the Gallo-Roman youth, set in the late Roman Republic. In 1978, the story “Alix: Le spectre de Carthage” won the award for best French realistic comic book at Angoulême. In 1989, the story “Alix: Le cheval de Troie” won the BD d’Or at the Salon Européen de la BD (in Grenoble).
Martin created another well-received character in the contemporary journalist “Lefranc” in 1952. Later he collaborated with others to create the medieval architect “Jhen” (1978), the French revolutionary officer “Arno” (1984), the Athenian “Orion” (1990), the Egyptian “Keos” (1992), and “Loïs”, set in the court of Louis the Sun King of France (2003).
Also in 2003, Jacques Martin was awarded the Grand Prix Saint-Michel (in Brussels) for the three series “Alix”, “Lefranc”, and “Jhen”.
