Catalogue information
The Empire of Edgar J. is a book by and by Jacques Laudy. Together with Hergé, Jacobs and Van Melckebeke, he is one of the founders of the Belgian comic strip and was co-founder of the weekly Tintin. His childhood friendship with Edgar Jacobs and their joint adventures and wanderings through Brussels in the 1930s and 40s meant a great deal to both artists and provided a mutual artistic stimulus. Laudy's comic career was limited to a very small number of albums in the Hassan and Kaddoer series. Laudy died on July 28, 1993, a few months before the release of this album, of which he has still approved the proofs. In a way, this book is his artistic testament.
