The Disney production in France

[Thierry Fernand]

I agree that the quality of stories produced by Hachette 
Disney Presse is very low. The stories (scripts) are very 
disappointing, with a few exceptions.
Fabien Velhmann is a very good new young author - 
unfortunately he stopped his collaboration a few months ago.
There are some very good Hachette artists from Spain: 
Angelo Rodriguez, Conrado Lazaro and Bernado.
These authors also worked (on and off) for VNU in the 
Netherlands, and have been in the Comicup studio for at 
least 8 years. Their early works were very bad, but they 
have acquired a good style now.

Problem is (IMhO) with the quality of the scripts. The only 
good Hachette period was I think with Motti and Gen-Clo in 
the late 80s. I didn't like much the beginning of the "new" 
production in the early 80s (with Marin doing superb 
artworks but stories looking like not very good Murry-ish 
adventures). The mid 90s was the worst ever (with lots of 
very bad young Studio artists, and many new caracters). 
This is getting slightly better. Michel Souris is not a 
very good character, but think of Zarato the evil magician 
that Fabian Velhmann created - make me think of Faraci.
