Albert-Georges Badert (1914–1994)
Born in 1914, Albert-Georges Badert belongs to that generation of artists who helped shape popular pre-war comics. His meeting at 17 with Louis Forton, creator of Les Pieds-Nickelés, was decisive. Encouraged by the master, he entered the Offenstadt circle and began publishing in the major illustrated newspapers of the time.
His early creations, such as Les Aventures de Dodoche et Tatave in L’Épatant or La Famille Alacoque in L’As, attest to a lively humor and an elegant line, embedded in the French satirical tradition. In 1939, he briefly took up Les Pieds-Nickelés again, offering a more polished version of the famous heroes, less rascals and more gentlemen, reflecting a unique graphic sensibility.
The war interrupts this trajectory. Badert then worked as an illustrator for Radio Nationale and for the newspaper L’Alerte. After 1945, René Pellos definitively resumed Les Pieds-Nickelés, but Badert pursued a prolific career in humorous illustration in the press, where his line remained lively and clear.
Died in 1994, he left an essential oeuvre, a milestone in the history of Les Pieds-Nickelés and a witness to the evolution of French comics between the pre-war and post-war periods.
