The Author
Auguste Liquois (1902-1969) was a comic book artist and illustrator
from the 1930s and 1940s who took over Tarzan
after the Nazis banned the import of American strips in occupied France.
Today, Liquois is remembered for his science
fiction series, Vers les Mondes Inconnus
[Towards The Unknown Worlds] (1943), a
Flash Gordon imitation serialized in "Le Témeraire".
Liquois also drew Guerre à la Terre [War
against Earth] written by Marijac and serialized in "Coq Hardi"
in 1946-47, Salvator,
another super-hero, precursor of Satanax,
serialized in "Tarzan" in 1947,
and Atomas, written
by Robert Charroux and serialized in "Mon Journal" in 1948.
Auguste Liquois retired from comics in 1959 to devote his time
to painting and fine arts.
