Admirée par les plus grands, l’oeuvre de Wasterlain raconte un monde coloré, empreint d’un profond humanisme.
Wasterlain’s oeuvre has gained the admiration of many great artists, and it tells the story of a colourful world, full of the most profound humanism.
Docteur Poche first came onto the scene in the comic magazine Spirou in 1976, and at the time it was as if a double revolution were taking place in Belgian comic strip art. Firstly because of the originality of his drawings, but also because of the onirism exuded by his character dressed in a top hat and red cape and flying through the air. Never for one minute forgetting that he is mainly writing for children, Marc Wasterlain, in the true spirit of a poet, also covers current affairs by recounting the adventures of the photographer Jeannette Pointu, a very resourceful heroine who reports events from all the four corners of the world. Welcome to the planet of cats and the island of butterfly-men; Marc Wasterlain will draw you into his fantasy universe, which is both funny and thrilling!
