Still, the first and original one is all over the place at AP, even doing the last months of Secret Agent X-9 before John Lewis (Bob Lubbers takes over).<br /><br />But, when the Belgian Morris worked in New York, doing his weekly comic strip Lucky Luke, he used to work on both sides of his paper to save on postage. Although you would probably recognize it immediately if you had bought a double page of Lucky Luke, he also did some small cartoon and illustration work for Moustique and other magazines. Usually cartoons. Could you send me a scan or scans at geapelde@upcmail.nl. If you have found an unknown cartoon or illustration by de Bevere 1. it will eb worth a lot of money and 2. I am in contact with the people whoa re doing the art show (and recent book called l'Art de Morris) for the upcoming Angouleme comics festival and they might be interested as well.<br />Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-62479849408767786142015-12-19T08:02:37.848-08:002015-12-19T08:02:37.848-08:00Thank you so much!
