He wrote great and intelligent stories as varied as ''[[ComicBook/SpirouAndFantasio Spirou]]'' for [[Creator/AndreFranquin Franquin]], ''[[TheWestern Comanche]]'' for Hermann or ''Luc Orient'', a "''ComicStrip/FlashGordon''-like" with Eddy Paape. He was also an accomplished artist, writing and drawing the comic ''Achille Talon''.
