He was then supported by the best known scenarists of Dupuis, such as Raoul Cauvin and Jean-Marie Brouyère, with whom he realised various series including Coursensac et Baladin. Soon, he began a 16-page story, Le Troisième Laron. At the age of 18, he joined the drawing team of the Spirou magazine, where he published a story in the section dedicated to young creators. Passionate about comics since he was very young, he produced his first drawings in the Robidule fanzine, and worked on his style at the Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels. He is also known as Sylaire and as Yslaire, his current artist name.īernard Hislaire was born in 1957 in Brussels, Belgium. He has made several new albums that have been published with large intervals by Glénat since then.Bernard Hislaire (born 11 January 1957) is a Belgian comic book creator. Yslaire took over the scriptwriting from Yann while working on the second episode in 1987. This critically acclaimed and darkly romantic saga about the impossible love between Bernard Sambre and a young farmer girl during the French Revolution was drawn in a far more realistic style than Hislaire's previous work and contained several literary references.
He assumed the pseudonym Yslaire and began 'Sambre' with scriptwriter Balac (a pseudonym of Yann) in publisher Glénat's Circus magazine. Hislaire himself had radically changed his drawing style in 1986.
The series continued to appear in Spirou until 1986, when Bidouille and Violette's young love ended tragically in a car accident. It called in a new wave of more personal comic stories, which was also represented in Spirou by Geerts' 'Jojo' and Wasterlain's 'Docteur Poche'. Hislaire's series about the love between two adolescents was unique for its time, especially in magazines like Spirou. In 1978 he started his breakthrough series, the poetic and romantic 'Bidouille et Violette'. Bernard Hislaire is a Belgian artist, who is known for his poetic and litterary comics oeuvre, which he has mostly published under the name Yslaire.
