For Hadja he then raises a corner of the veil on the new pages with his colorist Laurent Durieux.

The Palace of Justice plays a crucial role in this new adventure of the British detectives, but also the Basilica of Koekelberg.

At home, facing his drawing table, he becomes a great child with the virtuous cabinetmaker Karl Theiss who creates with him 3D objects drawn straight from his imagination.”
