In addition, Cubitus takes on roles as a monk, minstrel, musketeer, William Tell, Leonardo da Vinci, Columbus, and many other historical figures.\n\nAbout the author and other contributors\n\nDupa (i.e. Luc Dupanloup, 1945-2000) began his career as an illustrator as an assistant to Greg, then editor-in-chief of \"Tintin\" magazine, and initially worked on the realization of several series, including Achille Talon (German: Albert Enzian at Ehapa and Carlsen). In 1968, Greg commissioned him to create a new gag character that was urgently needed for \"Tintin.\" Dupa then drew a large, hairy ball with paws and gave it a good-natured appearance. Just fifteen minutes later, the first sketch was finished! But what should this new creature be called? The name of a bone wouldn't be bad, since it seemed to be a dog. So Dupa consulted a reference book and took the name Cubitus (i.e. the forearm bone) from an anatomical drawing... Between 1968 and 1970, Dupa also created some short stories about the little country boy Petit Biniou in Greg's style. And from 1971 to 1976, he also took over the Chlorophylle series created by Raymond Macherot, with scenarios by Greg and Bob de Groot. In addition, in 1980, Dupa created the red-haired truck driver Niky (German: in \"Yps\"). However, Cubitus proved to be his greatest success, appearing on this side of the Rhine first in the \"Felix\" issues (under the name \"Hannibal\") and then establishing himself in \"ZACK\" magazine from 1973, where he later even became the editorial mascot. In Germany, 14 Cubitus albums were published by Carlsen Comics and two volumes by Phoenix Verlag. In 1988, over 100 animated cartoon episodes were animated for television and broadcast in Germany on SuperRTL. At the end of October 2000, Dupa suffered a stroke and finally passed away shortly thereafter at the age of only 55 in a hospital near Brussels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783941279667\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e German\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Collector's item like new\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comic-Helden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48156779053393,"sku":"OW-LPVK-REA0","price":14.21,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/3791\/3681\/products\/51QqdRtrEeL.jpg?v=1709620012","url":"https:\/\/comic-helden.shop\/en-de\/products\/cubitus-classic-band-2-dramen-um-die-ahnen","provider":"Comic-Helden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
