Desorger/Jimmy Tousseul. Original drawing illustrating turbotraction, created as a tribute to Franquin. A work of quality. India ink, signed and dated 1997. A4 format Daniel Desorgher (1948) spent the first 12 years of his life in the Congo. This experience was to have a decisive influence on his career as a cartoonist. After a spell in Greg's and then Attanasio's studios, Desorgher became Peyo's assistant for many years. There, he contributed to numerous Smurfs and Poussy albums. A master of the art of the clear line, Desorgher launched his own series in the mid '80s: "Les aventures de Jimmy Tousseul", based on a script by Stephen Desberg (and published in the journal Spirou, then in albums by Dupuis). In this series, the artist revisits his African experience. Between 2007 and 2010, Daniel Desorgher inks four albums in the Le Scrameustache series (Les Exilés, L'Elfe des étoiles, La Clé de l'hexagramme and Les Passagers clandestins). At the same time, he initiated the Festival international de la BD de Seraing, after having organized the Fête des amoureux de la BD in Boncelles.
