Albert-Georges Badert (1914–1994)
Born in 1914, Albert-Georges Badert belongs to that generation of artists who helped shape popular comic strips before the war. His decisive meeting at 17 with Louis Forton, creator of Les Pieds-Nickelés, marked the turning point. Encouraged by the master, he enters the Offenstadt world and begins publishing in the major illustrated newspapers of the era.
His early creations, such as The Adventures of Dodoche and Tatave in L’Épatant or La Famille Alacoque in L’As, testify to a lively humor and an elegant line, rooted in the French satirical tradition. In 1939, he briefly takes over the Pieds-Nickelés, offering a more polished version of the famous heroes, less scoundrels and more gentlemen, a reflection of a unique graphic sensibility.
The war interrupts this path. Badert then works as an illustrator for National Radio and for the newspaper L’Alerte. After 1945, René Pellos permanently resumes Les Pieds-Nickelés, but Badert continues a prolific career in humorous illustration in the press, where his line retains liveliness and clarity.
Died in 1994, he left behind an essential body of work, a milestone in the history of Pieds-Nickelés and a witness to the evolution of French comics between the pre-war and post-war eras.
