Lucien Nortier

After several other jobs, Lucien Nortier turned to comics in 1946. At first he succeeded Rémy Bourlès on 'Bob l'Ardent' and he created comics for Jeudi-Magazine and Pic et Nic. Later on, he joined the Vaillant (later Pif Gadget) team. In this magazine, Nortier illustrated a wide range of series, like ' Le Cormoran', 'Sam Billie Bill', ' Lynx Blanc', 'Robin des Bois', 'Le Grèlé 7-13' and 'Fanfan la Tulipe', often in cooperation with fellow artist Christian Gaty. Another artist working in Nortier's studio in the 1950s was Charlie Kiéfer.…Comiclopedia
