[edit] Biography
Delporte started at Spirou as a retoucher and handler of other odd jobs, but in time touched upon a great deal of different occupations within the comics industry. In 1955, upon becoming editor-in-chief of Spirou in place of Charles Dupuis, a long-lasting collaboration with Franquin began, which would spawn many creations.[2][3]
