Wayne Shelton

Wayne Shelton is a Belgian comic series that began in June in 2001 by Jean Van Hamme as a writer and Christian Denayer as a draftsman. The series revolves around character Wayne Shelton, a Vietnam vet who treats own expense expensive, seemingly impossible tasks for money. He usually works for (former) friends also sporadically for the government, sometimes under duress. Some adventures are spread across several albums, one album others are long. He has a loose relationship with Honesty Goodness, but also often with other women to bed. Shelton is no longer the youngest, and is therefore often teased by his friends. Most stories play in the Middle East, often in fictitious countries.

Alain Chevallier

After teaching school, his first vocation, Christian Denayer launches into the drawing. It starts in Journal of Tintin in 1962, when Jean Graton entrusted sets and Car Michel Vaillant. In 1966, he meets Tibet who does work on the series Ric Rattle and introduced him to André-Paul Duchateau.
Born of their collaboration in 1969 Yalek, first in the Belgian daily Le Soir then in the Journal of Tintin, and in 1970 the adventures of the racing driver Alain Chevallier
The series was published by Rossel space 7 albums (1973-1977) and then it goes into pre-published in Tintin and the publication in Lombard. Jean Graton and Lombard Tintin leaves to 1975-76. It seems that the series has just been created by authors who wish to enjoy the success of Michel Vaillant. However the departure of Jean Graton really left a void in Tintin, or the recruitment of an already existing series competing to replace Michel Vaillant.
