Bob de Moor
1925–1992
Robert Frans Marie De Moor, known professionally as Bob de Moor, was born on 20 December 1925 in Belgium and died on 26 August 1992. He is remembered as a key figure in the ligne claire school of comic art, a clean, precise style he helped define. De Moor began his career creating his own series, but his most enduring work came as a collaborator. He assisted Hergé on several volumes of *The Adventures of Tintin*, contributing backgrounds, figures, and layouts. After the death of Edgar P. Jacobs, de Moor completed the unfinished *Blake and Mortimer* story *Professor Sató's Three Formulae, Volume 2: Mortimer vs. Mortimer*. His own series, including the *Bob de Moor reeks*, showcased his skill as both writer and artist. Over a career spanning from 1950 to 2019, he was credited on 119 issues, with his work appearing in *Tintin* and its various international editions. De Moor’s legacy is that of a master craftsman whose steady hand and clear line shaped some of the most beloved Franco-Belgian comics.
