About the author

Benoît Sokal was born on June 28, 1954 in Brussels, Belgium. He is most famous for his comic strip series Canardo. Sokal originally studied at the École Supérieure des Arts Saint-Luc De Bruxells, an art university in Brussels, where many other modern Belgian comic artists also studied, such as François Schuite, who is currently working with Sokal on a White Birds Productions game.

Sokal drew a variety of comics but by far the most popular is the Inspector Canardo series which centres on an anthropomorphic duck who possesses the same characteristics as many classic comics and stories revolving around police inspectors but in a more noir style. He then went on to create three more comic strips, involving collaborating with François Rivière and Alain Populaire.

Sokal worked with game developers at Microïds, creating and subsequently releasing the Syberia series, as well as Amerzone. Microïds later merged with MC2 France to form MC2-Microïds. He is now working for White Birds Productions who have released Paradise and are currently developing at least one title.

Reviews

[Matti Karjalainen · Rating 2 out of 5]

"Usvahäiden" (Jalava, 1990) tunnelma ja teemat lähestyvät kauhufantasiaa vähän Draculan ja Carrien hengessä. Sarjan neljäs osa ei kuulu suosikkieni joukkoon, ehkä siksikin että ihmishahmot eivät mielestäni oikein kuulu Ankardon maailmaan.

Émily a été un gros Bi Awakening pour moi, quand j'ai lu cette B.D... Trop jeune pour comprendre l'histoire mais assez vieille pour comprendre qu'elle était bien jolie.

Trois étoiles du coup (l'histoire est bien mais c'est une suite et je n'ai pas celle d'avant...

At the 4th issue we see the return of the master villain so far, Rasputin, although we get presented with an even more malicious character. A little girl with psychic powers meets with the evil cat and Canardo (oh, what a surprise) is still helpless and an extra. Let's see where this goes, at least Sokal leaves some loose ends that can produce a great story.

"The Return of Rasputin" is the first of the Canardo series that implements the supernatural element.

Ei tämä nyt kauhean hyvä ollut vaikka Rasputinin toivatkin takaisin. Eniten häiritsi miten paljon ihmismaailmaa ja eläinmaailmaa sekoitettiin.
Mutta kuvat ovat kauniita katsella ja pari hyvää kohtaustakin oli.

Sokalia hienoimmillaan.

Kesäharrastuksena tuli luetuksi joukko klassikkoja ja klassikkotekijöiden muuta tuotantoa. Tämä on tähtensä ansainnut.
