Corentin (comics)
Comic series by Paul Cuvelier
Corentin is a series of comics created by Belgian artist Paul Cuvelier (1923–1978). Influenced by Robinson Crusoe, Cuvelier created the character of Corentin Feldoë in 1943.[1] The character first appeared in a series of watercolors that Cuvelier made for his own family. Hergé, convinced of the merit of these watercolors, commissioned Cuvelier to do a series of comic strips. Thus, Corentin first made its appearance in Tintin magazine on September 26, 1946.[2] Originally, the final story was published in 1974, four years before Cuvelier's death. 42 years later, a new album was published, written by Jean Van Hamme.[3]
