Chic, je me suis fait croquer dans une BD!
'Victime consentante, la belle-maman de Philippe Francq, dessinateur de «Largo Winch», incarne le médecin généraliste du milliardaire en blue-jean. «Je lui ai demandé si elle acceptait ce genre de rôle, raconte Francq. Largo est très présent en Belgique!» Une délicatesse dont il n'a pas fait bénéficier son beau-père... «Il a été mis devant le fait accompli: il s'est découvert en majordome de Largo Winch alors qu'il était à la caisse d'un grand magasin!» Y figure également Jean Van Hamme, le scénariste, dans le rôle de l'avocat de l'héritier, et, dans l'intro du 17e tome, «la petite Hollandaise qui débarque dans la chambre de Simon Ovronnaz est une copine».'

Meanwhile, in Brussels, Our Hero Fights a Comic-Book Crisis
Mr. Van Hamme Can't Find Worthy Successor To Provide Words for Graphic Novels
By DANIEL MICHAELS
BRUSSELS -- Jean Van Hamme is a giant of Belgium's comic-book world even though he can't draw.
The 70-year-old former marketing executive writes the stories that fill the white bubbles of Belgium's best-selling graphic-novel series. Hits ranging from "Largo Winch," a saga of business intrigue, to "Thorgal," a Viking fantasy adventure, have been translated into 25 languages. His 19-volume "XIII," a riff on Robert Ludlum's "Bourne Identity," recently aired as a TV miniseries in the U.S.
In his native land, this makes Mr. Van Hamme a comic-book hero.
Belgium is so comic-crazy that the books are published in hardcover, printed in rich colors on glossy paper and sell for about $15 apiece. Publishers churned out more than 4,000 new titles last year. Museums and art-school curricula are devoted to comics. Around Brussels, murals of comic-book characters adorn 37 buildings. A towering picture of Tintin, Belgium's most famous cartoon, greets train travelers arriving from Paris and London. Brussels officials Thursday unveiled what they said is the world's largest comic, a 69-by-105-feet reproduction of one page from a Tintin adventure, amid celebrations marking 2009 as the city's "year of the comic strip."
Now, as Mr. Van Hamme nears the end of his career, he's searching for a worthy successor. "I will probably be dead in 10 years, so part of my role is to pass the torch," he says during an interview in his study as he lights a Gauloises and examines the draft cover art for a new comic.
There's a problem, however: He says the scripts he gets from aspiring Belgian writers are hopeless.
Aficionados are worried, too. "There are so few good writers....It's a crisis," laments Reynold Leclercq, who owns one of the 20 or so stores in Brussels devoted to comics.
Jean Van Hamme
Most Belgians who want a career in comics aspire to be illustrators, not wordsmiths. At the country's many comic fairs, it's the artists around whom thousands swarm for autographs. An exhibition currently on display at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels called "Belgian Comics: Frames of Reference" profiles 20 current comic creators. Only four are writers, including Mr. Van Hamme.
The silver-haired master, who writes in French, says he wants to help aspiring writers succeed. To develop new talent, he recently selected 10 authors to create spinoffs of his "XIII" series. Each author is expanding upon one of the minor characters in the series, extending their stories into whole books. Mr. Van Hamme says he's sending the authors back for rewrite after rewrite, "like a drill sergeant."
Nine of the 10 authors are from France. "I couldn't find any promising young Belgians," Mr. Van Hamme says.
Bereft of good writers to feed Belgium's highly trained artists with stories, several Belgian publishers are taking books to which they own rights and hiring illustrators to create graphic novels. Even American authors, such as crime writer Donald Westlake and 19th century realist Stephen Crane, now have French-language comics.
At the Belgian Comic Strip Center, a museum in Brussels, spokesman Willem De Graeve says the shortage marks a big shift from the post-World War II era, when Belgium's comic classics were produced.
Tintin, the Smurfs and a cartoon cowboy named Lucky Luke became famous as much for their yarns as their pictures. Tintin creator Georges Prosper Remi, who went by the pen name Hergé, "learned to draw because he wanted to tell stories," Mr. De Graeve says.
That changed in the 1960s. "A new generation of artists wanted to show that comics were not just for children," says Mr. De Graeve. Illustrators became like cinematographers, striving to create increasingly elaborate frames conveying mood, emotion and action.
As a child, Mr. Van Hamme was an avid reader of comics. "It was like our mother's milk, but I never thought about making comics," he recalls.
While earning degrees in law, engineering, finance and journalism in the mid-1960s, he worked translating Peanuts and Blondie comics into French for Belgian newspapers. In 1968, while traveling the world as a marketing manager for U.S. Steel, Mr. Van Hamme started drafting one or two stories a year for a Belgian comics magazine as a hobby.
After five years, a friend connected Mr. Van Hamme with an American comics publisher to explore creating an ambitious Belgian-style series that might sell in the U.S. Mr. Van Hamme proposed making the protagonist a rich playboy, Largo Winch. That project collapsed, but Mr. Van Hamme kept thinking about how to bring his character to life.
In 1976, when Mr. Van Hamme was a manager at Philips Electronics in Belgium, he changed course. "One day I decided that being the director of a department in a multinational wasn't my future," he recalls. He quit to become a full-time novelist.
His first effort was to resurrect Largo Winch in novels. The series, which was panned as a poor man's James Bond, flopped.
At the same time, Mr. Van Hamme also wrote comics, including one called "Story Without Hero," about a group of plane-crash survivors. Then "Thorgal" and "XIII" took off. By the early 1980s, his stories were selling hundreds of thousands of copies, in a business accustomed to selling a small fraction of that.
"With Van Hamme, comics became best sellers," says Frédéric Niffle, a Belgian comics publisher and biographer of Mr. Van Hamme. "He completely changed the industry."
By the 1990s, Mr. Van Hamme's comics were selling so well that "many alternative artists saw him as the enemy -- only doing entertainment for money," says Nicolas Verstappen, a clerk at a comics store in Brussels. Says Mr. Van Hamme: "My goal is to be a popular storyteller."
Some of Mr. Van Hamme's biggest successes came through the exploration of subjects that few would have dared tackle in comics, says Mr. Verstappen.
"SOS Happiness" examines the tradeoff between security and freedom in a quasitotalitarian European society 20 years in the future, and protagonists deal with issues such as medical care.
"The Barley Masters" -- the tale of a brewing dynasty that begins in the late 19th century and spins into 20th-century corporate America -- is as much socioeconomic history as soap opera.
Mr. Van Hamme's most unlikely success came as he resurrected Largo Winch again, but as a comic strip.
The feature, which chronicles adventures of a dashing young man who unexpectedly inherits a conglomerate based in Manhattan, spills over with both attractive women and paunchy men in suits. Textbook-like Largo Winch titles such as "Takeover Bid" and "The Price of Money" didn't deter young readers, even in France, where brash American-style capitalism has long been scorned. A recent installment in the series deals with business corruption in China.
"He's a better economics teacher than most economists, because he's more credible," says Didier Pasamonik, a curator of the Royal Museums' exhibition on comics. Mr. Pasamonik compares Mr. Van Hamme to renowned French 19th-century novelists Émile Zola and Honoré de Balzac for his ability to wrap complex social issues or the workings of mundane business transactions into page-turning narratives.
Mr. Van Hamme, who traces his literary roots to disposable comic strips of the 1940s, laughs off the lofty comparison. "I will never write a great novel," he says.
Still, he's disappointed that he hasn't inspired more competition. "I would love to have a lot of young lions trying to eat me," he says.

Jean van Hamme, 40 ans d'histoires et toujours des idées
du: http://www.tv5.org/TV5Site/lf/actualite.php?rub=franceculture&idArticle=091215064739.rbz5tpcq.xml
PARIS, 15 déc 2009 (AFP) - 15/12/2009 06h47 - Jean van Hamme, l'homme aux millions de lecteurs, père comblé de XIII, Thorgal ou Largo Winch, et tuteur attendri de Blake et Mortimer, a toujours à 70 ans la flamme du conteur dans les yeux quand il parle de ses scénarios de bandes-dessinées.
Offrez un van Hamme à Noël, vous avez le choix entre : le dernier Blake et Mortimer, "La malédiction des trente deniers", le tome 6 de "Lady S", "Salade portugaise", ou son "petit chouchou de l'année", "Le télescope".
Il y a encore "Rani", saga romantique dans les Indes françaises, adapté d'un scénario de van Hamme pour la télé, et le 2e "XIII Mystery", histoires de personnages secondaires du plus grand succès du scénariste belge.
Bref, van Hamme est de la trempe de René Goscinny ou Pierre Christin. "Je suis un scénariste bien installé, disons", s'amuse-t-il, l'oeil bleu perçant sous ses rides de griot blanc. Le succès "ne me laisse pas indifférent, ce serait mentir, mais ça ne me donne pas le melon, pour reprendre une expression française que j'ai apprise récemment".
"Quand ça vient très progressivement, ça se digère sans problème, dit l'homme aux 40 millions d'albums, ce n'est pas comme le malheureux chanteur qui fait son tube mondial à 22 ans et passe le reste de sa vie à essayer de refaire la même chose, c'est atroce. J'ai eu le temps de m'habituer à ce que ça marche bien, ce qui n'enlève pas la responsabilité de ne pas décevoir son public".
Le succès est assuré pour Blake et Mortimer, 600.000 exemplaires pour les précédents albums de van Hamme, un des "mercenaires", dit-il, qui font revivre les personnages d'Edgar P. Jacobs.
"Je m'y sens très bien, confesse le Belge, ça m'amuse beaucoup, +By Jove+, +Par l'enfer+, les récitatifs légèrement redondant, les rebondissements un peu vieillots... C'est ma madeleine de Proust".
Van Hamme aime "les ringardises de l'époque. Comme quand Mortimer assomme un tueur avec sa pantoufle qui pèse 105 grammes. Il a aussi Olrik a portée de main, mais évidemment il le laisse partir - j'en avais besoin pour la suite. C'est tout le charme de Blake et Mortimer".
"Dans le tome 2 des +Trente deniers+, le futur méchant est mal-rasé, donc louche. En plus, il est à moitié turc, sourit van Hamme: on sait d'avance que c'est le mauvais. Dans XIII, Largo Winch, je lance des fausses-pistes, j'espère assez subtiles, dans Blake et Mortimer tout est élémentaire".
Il évoque aussi avec flamme son "chouchou", "Le Télescope", l'histoire leste de cinq sexagénaires qui se cotisent pour s'offrir une call-girl de grand standing, "une histoire que je porte depuis un moment", dit-il : "Quand j'ai arrêté XIII et Thorgal, j'ai trouvé le temps de la refaire. C'est très immoral, mais je crois que les gens sont de bonne humeur quand ils l'ont lue. Les personnages s'offrent une folie... Car leur carrière n'a pas répondu à leur attentes, leur vie sentimentale non plus..."
Jean Van Hamme fignole aussi le scénario de "Rani" pour France 2. "Rani, dit-il, c'est Angélique marquise des Indes". |

Interview Jean Van Hamme:
Justement, concernant Largo, est-ce que le prochain album sortira en 2010 ?
Jean Van Hamme: ''Plutôt en 2011. S’il n’a pas besoin d’argent, Largo Winch désire pourtant plus de justice sociale au sein de son groupe. J’avais écrit ce scénario en 2009, expliquant comment il sauve son groupe de la crise mondiale. Pour l’instant, tout ce que j’avais écrit se réalise, mais s’il y a un nouveau grand coup, je peux toujours retoucher le texte.'' |

Interview: Jean Van Hamme on Largo Winch: http://dvdnews.freshcontentengine.com/interview-jean-van-hamme-on-largo-winch/
Largo Winch began life as a series of novels. How easy was it to translate them to the comic-book format?
An adaptation to a different medium is always difficult. The novels are 25 years older than the comic books so I have had to adapt the stories to the present day.
How difficult was it to take what people would assume was a typically dry subject such as the corporate world and make it exciting?
The corporate world is Shakespearian: a fight for power and wealth, with sex, treason and revenge. Who said it was not exciting? I just added a few murders to complete the gravy.
Did your degrees in finance, journalism and civic law help you create a realistic world to set your stories in?
My degrees in finance and law allow me to understand what I read in specialised newspapers and my 12 years with US Steel Corp and Philips Group have allowed me to discover what I told you in response to the previous question.
Did you originally stop writing the Largo Winch novels because the work on other comics took up all of your time. And if so, was it always your intention to return to the character when you could?
I stopped the novels for money reasons. I could not make a living from them.
Did you have any input into the movie version? Did they bring you onboard as a consultant?
I was indeed a consultant for the movie scripts, for both Largo Winch – Deadly Revenge and the sequel. I was not a consultant for the TV series.
Were you happy with Tomer Sisley, the actor they got to play Largo? And was it important to match him closely with his comic-book image?
Tomer doesn’t physically look like the graphic character but he is completely involved in his mentality. It was a surprising and excellent choice.
The series is apparently one of the most popular comics in French, with annual sales of nearly 500,000 copies. Did the scale of its success surprise you?
A fresh new title sells about 400,000 French copies a year. If you add the former titles, you approach the 550,000 a year mark. A success is always a surprise – a very pleasant one.
The character has spawned a TV series, a 2002 computer game and now a movie. Are there any other spin-offs planned?
There are no other spin-offs planned except for the second Largo Winch movie, which will be released in France and Belgium in February 2011.
Largo Winch – Deadly Revenge is released on DVD on 23 August. |

Profile: Jean Van Hamme
from: http://www.list.co.uk/article/28864-profile-jean-van-hamme/
Director of Largo Winch: Deadly Revenge
Name
Jean Van Hamme
Born
Brussels, Belgium, January 6 1939
Background
Van Hamme studied business at university before becoming and journalist and a marketer, but from 1968 he began his professional writing career working around his day job. Eight years later Van Hamme quit his day job to concentrate all of his time on writing and he began to in earnest to pen comics, novels and film scripts. A heroic fantasy comic book series about a Viking named Thorgal gave Van Hamme his big break in 1977 and in the years since he has gone on to become one of Europe’s bestselling comic creators, collaborating with various artists and producing a number of ongoing series, some of which have been continued by other writers. Largo Winch, which was co-created with artist Philippe Franq, is one of Van Hamme’s most popular and profitable franchises with 16 comic volumes to date in print, a handful of novels (also written by Van Hamme), a television series and now a film and it’s forthcoming sequel.
What he’s up to now?
Having declared he was scaling back his comics work to focus on writing films, Van Hamme appears to have backtracked and is currently as busy as he ever was producing comics. Along with Largo Winch, Van Hamme is also authoring the Jason Bourne-alike XIII and Blake and Mortimer, a 1950-set espionage and science fiction strip originated by Van Hamme’s fellow countryman Edgar P Jacobs and first published in Tintin magazine in 1946.
On the film adaptation of his comic
‘I loved the movie 95%. Tomer Sisley doesn’t look like Largo Winch from the comics, but he is how I imagined him in the novels. And, the cherry on the cake is the second opus, which is presently being shot in Belgium with Sharon Stone and Tomer again. It will be even better.’
Interesting fact
Van Hamme wrote the script for Diva, the celebrated cult 1981 French thriller directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix who would go on to make Betty Blue.
