Urbex - Volume 1 - Villa Pandora

Vincent Lodewick was born in Uccle (Belgium) on 20 August 1964. In the mid 80s he attended the evening classes given by Eddy Paape at the l'Académie de Saint-Gilles. From 1987 to 1991, he wrote animation scripts for the weekly Spirou, with Benoît Ers, Mauricet, Bruno Wesel, Olis, Bruno Gazzotti, Jean-Luc Cornette, Philippe Wurm, etc. doing the illustrations. That same magazine Spirou published his first series, "La Vie Secrète des Poubelles" with illustrations by Malik. 1990 : 144 single-plate gags for Marsu Productions (illustrations by Serge Carrère, Benoît Ers and Mauricet). 1991 and 1993, for Fleurus Presse : adaptations of "Les Fables de La Fontaine" and "Le Roman de Renart" (illustrations by Serge Carrère), "Poil de Carotte" and "Le Petit Chose" (illustrations by Bruno Bazile).

Since 2002, script of the "Les Démons d'Alexia" series at Dupuis (illustrated by Benoît Ers). Vincent occasionally tries his hand at communication and cartoon advertising (Human Rights, Brussels, about aphasia, Kid Cool, KiteKat, etc.) always entrusting the illustrations to his faithful friends: Benoît Ers, Olivier Saive, Mauricet, etc. Born in Liège on November 16th, 1965, Frédéric Seron, known as "Clarke, " could do almost anything-playing instruments, speaking Spanish, composing songs in German, writing in Danish, singing in Latin...
and producing an unbelievable number of comic strips every week. After studying at the School of Fine Arts and Architecture, he went into fashion illustration before falling for comics while contributing to local collective publications ("Qui a tué François Walthéry" and "B. D. Mode, c'est belge"). In 1987, he published his first personal work for publisher Khani, entitled "Rebecca - Bon anniversaire, Papy, " based on a script by another beginner, François Gilson, who hardly left his side again. The weekly comics magazine "Spirou" featured his series "Cambrioleurs, " written by Crosky, and the fantasy mini-strips "Africa Jim, " illustrated by Gilson.
It was with Gilson that Clarke discovered the charms of witchcraft by launching "Mélusine" in 1992. Bewitched, Dupuis quickly gave the eternal witch's apprentice her very own series. The Humour Libre collection later allowed him to diversify his work and audience. Based on scripts by Yann, he blithely massacred the biographies of respectable authors Andersen and Perrault with the series "Sales petits contes" (Dirty Little Tales). Over the years, Clarke has never stopped seeking new horizons, and the result is a body of work that features everything from political satire-with "Mister President" (Le Lombard; Europe Comics in English)-to societal critiques, such as with his graphic novel "Les Danois" (Le Lombard; "The Danes, " Europe Comics).
His latest work includes the paranormal adventure series "Urbex" (Le Lombard; Europe Comics in English), created alongside writer Dugomier.
