Should not Uderzo also be included in the Marcinelle school? --Oddeivind (talk) 16:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While, like many other comics artists in Western Europe, he was also influenced by the school (and especially Franquin), he isnot considered a part of it (he has, for starters, not worked for Dupuis: before Pilote/Asterix, he worked mainly for newspapers and for Tintin. Fram (talk) 07:44, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He also had early association with influential ligne claire people like Hubinon, MiTacq and Paape. Work like Tanguy et Laverdure isn't so close to Marcinelle. MURGH ^disc. 09:12, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Until Jijé started drawing it of course :-) Fram (talk) 09:44, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But Asterix could hardly be said to be ligne claire, could it? About the first reply, I thought the Marcinelle school was used as a term for people painting in a particular style, not necessarily as a term for people that worked the same place or in other ways cooperated closely? --Oddeivind (talk) 13:53, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think Marcinelle is primarily Belgian, while Uderzo is French. Of course, that isn't a fool-proof criterion, Derib is a Swiss author, but his style looks very Marcinelle-like due to his tutoring by Peyo. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 01:45, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, the corresponding French article considers Uderzo to be Marcinelle. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 13:07, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although I do not speak French, with some google-translation, I get the impression that the French article does not consider it necessary to have worked at Spirou. Neither does the term comic-dynamic mention the place Marcinelle. I have seen that French-Belgian comics have been divided into three different styles of painting, realism, ligne claire and comic-dynamic. Apart from Asterix, Iznogoud, painted by Jean Tabary, could be mentioned. To my knowledge Iznogoud has never been published in Spirou, but the style of painting is clearly comic-dynamic. Is there really any clear difference when it comes to painting here? If the term Marcinelle school is used only for what has been published in Spirou, it seems that the term comic-dynamic can not be used as a synonym to Marcinelle school. My impression, however, is that Marcinelle school is used synonymosuly with comic-dynamic and that Asterix and Iznogoud belong to the Marcinelle school. --Oddeivind (talk) 12:21, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure where the term "Comic-Dynamic" comes from, I don't think I have come across it outside of Scandinavian sources. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 12:12, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Although Uderzo never worked for the Spirou magazine, he had his training at the World Press agency - a syndicate formed by Belgian Georges Troisfontaines with close connections to Dupuis and Spirou magazine - and likely would have been working diligently for the Spirou magazine, if the rising star René Goscinny hadn't had a falling out with Troisfontaines and brought Uderzo along to his own competing syndicate Edipress/ Edifrance. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 09:36, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
