thorhauge_herge_t.gif

Our celebration of Hergé’s centenary continues! Today’s drawing is by the Bunker’s own T. Thorhauge. His debut, Det der går forud is still available from Fahrenheit, and the French edition, Table rase, published by Éditions Rackham, can be acquired here. Other significant comics work can be found in Rackham #2, 4 & 5 as well as Forandringstegn and the two BLÆK books – see our ‘works’ section for more info. He doesn’t have a website besides this one, but a lot of his writing can be found at Rackham. Also, there’s a really old interview with him here, and another here (both in Danish, unfortunately).

Also, check out the artwork in the previous instalments, by Mårdøn Smet, Miwer, Johan Krarup, Peter Kielland-Brandt and Ole Comoll Christensen. And be sure to read our freewheeling discussion of Hergé’s work .

Our celebration of Hergé’s centenary continues! Today’s drawing, which refers to the wrong number gag that runs through several of the late Tintin books, is by Ole Comoll Christensen, one of the most versatile comics artists on the Danish scene.

The ballon reads: “Hello? Yes M’am, it’s the butcher’s… Oh, you got the wrong number?”

Ole works within classic mainstream idioms as well as different experimental styles: his books includes the imaginative parallel dimension detective series Dimensionsdetektiven as well as a number of small press books and a long list of innovative anthology work published around Europe. American comics readers may know him without being aware of it from his extensive background work for Peter Snejbjerg on a number of DC and Vertigo titles. Visit his website here and read his Lambiek entry here.

Our celebration of Hergé’s centenary continues! Today’s drawing, inspired by the back covers of the old Danish editions of the Tintin books, is by Peter Kielland-Brandt, one of the veterans of the innovative 70s generation of Danish cartoonists and one of our most original voices. His website can be seen here, his Lambiek entry here, and an archive of assorted old work here. An American edition of his masterful pantomime Fish is available and can be purchased here or here, while the original Danish edition is available from Fahrenheit. In 2006, he finished his epic, 10-years-in-the-making Jernpotte, which unfortunately has not been translated but which anyone who can read Danish should take a look at.

Today it is the centenary of Georges Remi, better known as Hergé, the creator of Tintin!

To celebrate here at the Bunker, where we love his work, we have asked a number of Danish cartoonists to contribute drawings commemorating the anniversary. First up is Mårdøn Smet, the virtuoso veteran of Danish comics. Read more about him here, check out this small archive of his old work, and be aware that BLÆK contains some of his very best comics work (in pantomime, so there’s no language barrier!). Also, be sure to check our freewheeling discussion of Hergé’s work here.

1833: Birth of Comics, get it?

Published on 01. 02. 2007 in comics and cartooning, documentation and journal. Closed

According to the inscription on this shelf, located in the bookstore in CNBDI (Centre national de la bande dessinée et de l’image) in Angoulême, France, there’s really no question about the birth of comics. Rodolphe Töpffer is the main man, end of discussion.

Fumetti d´Angoulême: Terkel Risbjerg on Tardi’s Le cri du peuple!

Published on 31. 01. 2007 in comics and cartooning, documentation and journal. Closed


Danish cartoonist Terkel Risbjerg was not satisfied with Jacques Tardi’s monumental Le cri du peuple: “Too many footnotes!”

(Impressive how cartoonists are able to display disgust in this highly potent manner. Well, okay, maybe drinking beer at legendary Angoulême bar Le chat noir fuelled this subtle expressiveness…).
