Yesterday I wrote about Jef Nys being turned down by the Disney Studios and eventually creating one of the most succesful comic series in Belgium.
Before that, however, Nys experimented with styles and influences. The illustrations on this page are from experiments with a more realistic style, which Nys developed in the late 40’s and was very much influenced by his admiration for American newspaper strips.
