Raoul Cauvin (born 26 September 1938) is a Belgian comics author and one of the most popular in the humorist field. ==Biography== Raoul Cauvin was born in Antoing, Belgium in 1938.〔De Weyer, Geert (2005). "Raoul Cauvin". In België gestript, pp. 176-177. Tielt: Lannoo.〕 He studied lithography at the Institut Saint-Luc in Tournai, but upon leaving school found that there no jobs available for lithographers.〔(Interview on fan site ) Last accessed 29 September 2006〕 He started working at Dupuis in 1960 as a cameraman for the small animation studio the publishing house had started, working on early Smurfs cartoons and other short movies. After a few years, he started writing comics and has since became one of the most prolific Franco-Belgian comics authors, almost always staying true to Dupuis and the weekly Franco-Belgian comics magazine ''Spirou''. Some of his earliest work was for artists like Claire Bretécher, Gennaux and Eddy Ryssack. When ''Lucky Luke'', the successful, long-running Western series, moved from ''Spirou'' to rival magazine ''Pilote'' magazine, Cauvin came up with ''Les Tuniques Bleues'' (French for "Blue Coats") which is set among the U.S. Cavalry around the time of the American Civil War. It was at first drawn by Louis Salvérius who, upon his death, was replaced by Lambil, and has since become a major best-selling comic book series with more than 15 million albums sold.〔 Cauvin added another success in 1972 with ''Sammy'', about bodyguards in Chicago during the Prohibition era, drawn by Berck. A short stint on ''Spirou and Fantasio'' (drawn by Nic Broca) was not so successful. Cauvin continued to work for the animation studio as well, writing the scripts for the ''Musti'', ''Tip and Tap'' and ''The Pili's'' cartoons by Ray Goossens. He has lived in Nivelles since 1991.〔 By November 1999, he had published over 237 albums,〔(Interview from November 1999 ) Last accessed 28 June 2006〕 selling over 45 million in total.〔(ActuaBD Comics news ) Last accessed 29 September 2006〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Raoul Cauvin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
