Marc Legendre

Marc Legendre was born on 15 April 1956 in Antwerp, Belgium. He is best known as the creator of the popular Flemish comic strip *Biebel*, for which he won the Bronzen Adhemar award, one of Belgium's most prestigious comic honors. Legendre entered the comics field as a scriptwriter and cartoonist, building a career that spans from 1981 to the present. His most credited work includes *De Rode Ridder*, *De kronieken van Amoras*, *Spirou + Fantasio Spezial*, *Amoras*, *Kasboek*, and *Wardane*, where he has served as artist, colorist, inker, and writer across 64 issues. His style is characterized by clean, expressive linework and a knack for blending humor with adventure. Legendre frequently collaborated with other Flemish creators, notably on the *Amoras* series, which reimagines the *Suske en Wiske* universe in a darker, more adult tone. Later in his career, he continued to write and draw, contributing to both mainstream and independent projects. His legacy is firmly tied to *Biebel*, a beloved strip that has become a staple of Flemish comics, and his influence is seen in the continued popularity of his collaborative works.
