Lenaerts/Les romantiques. Original double plate at the beginning of the T2 story "Les initiés", with a very successful atmosphere. India ink circa 2001. TBE+. 32 X 41 cm (X2) Eric Lenaerts (1965) After studying drawing, he briefly spent some time at the St Luc comic strip school in Brussels, before doing his military service. He then met scriptwriter Pascal Renard, and together they made their debut with two short stories for 'Jet' magazine. His first album, "Sur des Eaux troubles", appeared in 1995, and in 1997 he published the first opus of "Valcourt", a two-volume saga. In 2001, he published the first volume of "Romantiques" (3 volumes). In September 2001, Soleil published the single volume of "Royaumes de Borée", with Dominique Latil on the script. In 2004, Lenaerts joined forces with Taymans, with whom he published Requiem, the first volume of "La Fugitive", in the "Ligne Rouge" collection for Casterman. He then took his first steps in the "Jacques Martin" collection with Les Vikings (2006), and Cléopâtre (2008). Today, with Gihef at the script, Lenaerts makes a remarkable entry in the "Repérages" collection from Éditions Dupuis with "Mister Hollywood", a series that revisits Hollywood myths, in which he explodes with talent in a realistic drawing close to that of Berthet.
