Bienvenue en 2060, dans le monde d’Adolphus Claar, prospère industriel dont Yves Chaland nous conte les rocambolesques aventures terriennes et intergalactiques. Entre une course poursuite

About the author
Yves Chaland
50 books11 followersYves Chaland (French: [iv ʃalɑ̃] was a French cartoonist. He was a master of the ligne-clair style
During the 1980s, together with Luc Cornillon, Serge Clerc and Floc'h, he launched the Atomic style, a stylish remake of the Marcinelle School in Franco-Belgian comics.
Chaland published his first strips in the fanzine Biblipop when he was 17. During his studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Saint-Etienne, he created his own fanzine, L'Unité de Valeur, in 1976, with Luc Cornillon.
In 1978, they met writer/editor Jean-Pierre Dionnet who hired them for his comics magazines Métal Hurlant and Ah Nana. These pastiches of 50s comics have been collected in the album Captivant. In September 1979 he married designer Isabelle Beaumenay-Joannet.
He then created the characters of Bob Fish, Adolphus Claar, Freddy Lombard, and Le Jeune Albert, a scamp character living in the Marolles, a working-class area of Brussels.
Yves Chaland, was approached to draw an adventure of Spirou et Fantasio, appearinging in half-page installments of the weekly Spirou magazine. Done in a retro 50s style similar to his influences Jijé and André Franquin, both former artists on the Spirou feature. The unfinished story has been collected in the album Spirou et Fantasio – Hors Série, No. 4 (Dupuis, 2003).
He also did many advertising illustration commissions in his crisp, clean, "retro-modern" cartoon style.
Chaland died on 18 July 1990, following a car wreck, at the age of 33.

Historias breves donde el protagonista es una excusa para mostrar aventuras livianas (aunque no falta el sarcasmo francés) en un entorno de ciencia ficción. La parte gráfica no tiene desperdicio para quienes apreciamos está línea europea.
