Jamin,
Paul |
| Paul Jamin was one of Hergé's collaborators
in the days of Le Petit Vingtième. Along with Hergé, Jamin worked on the
editorial pages of this magazine from 1930 to 1936. They signed their work
under the collective pseudonym of Oncle Jo and, thanks to Jamin's audacity
and humor, even Hitler got ridiculed. During the War, Jamin was even sentenced
to death, but fortunately this wasn't executed. Paul Jamin drew his first comic in 1930/1931 for Boy-Scout: 'La Belgique à travers les Ages'. Between 1935 and 1944 he worked for numerous magazines, signing his work mostly with Jam, Jamin or Alfred Gérard. After the War he continued working for several Belgian and French magazines, under several pseudonyms, like Alidor. For Spirou he created nine "micro-stories", as well as the continuing story 'Le Vol du Bourdon' (with the character Ernest Lecrac) in 1962. |
