Fernand Dineur

Fernand Dineur ( born May 17, 1904 in Anderlecht, Belgium, † April 1, 1956 ) was a Belgian comic book artist and writer and is - although largely unknown in Germany - one of the pioneers of the French- Belgian comics.

Before Dineur began drawing comics, he tried his hand at various professions, including as a butcher and a police officer.

When he published at the end of the thirties first illustrations (Les tribulations de Prosper ) in the Belgian press (Le Soir, Le Mustique ), Jean Dupuis was, who was in search of Belgian talent for his new weekly magazine Spirou, attentive to him. Dineur was asked to make a contribution for the first Spirou number of 21 April 1938 and created the original version of Tif et Tondu ( German Harry and plate or Gin and Fizz ). In the aftermath Dineur creates in addition to regular Tif and Tondu adventures more series for Dupuis ' weekly magazine ( Flup Détective; Puis les exploits de Bibn Ripp, Fitt et Jop ).

After a decade of regular contributions for Spirou in 1948 it came to a break with Jean Dupuis, as Dineur published Tif and Tondu complete adventure in the rival newspaper Heroic album. After Dupuis had the rights to the characters secured, he confided to the further development of the graphic series Will Maltaite. Dineur wrote some scenarios for the series, but in 1952 he was also as a copywriter by followers, first by Maurice Rosy and later by Maurice Tillieux replaced.
