Jacques Martin

[Jona Lendering]

He often had to combat cencorship, and only managed to defeat it once because he delivered his plates too late for them to be censored! :lol:

A great anecdote to remember.

I've always liked a picture in which Alix and his friend Enak wake up because someone has entered their room; they listen to what the man has to say, one of them resting his hand on the shoulder of the other. It's a tender, innocent gesture which, as a child, I did not recognize for what it was - evidence of the young men's homosexuality. I think Martin was right not to stress it; after all, we only need to know that Enak and Alix are friends. What kind of friendship they have is, for the story, irrelevant and can be left to the reader to decide.

i dont think it is appropriate for children in the age group 0-16

You mean the blood? You may be right about that.
