Raymond Leblanc

Leblanc and his two partners created Le Lombard publishing, Tintin magazine, PubliArt advertising agency, and Belvision Studios.

Raymond Leblanc was a resistance fighter during the Second World War in the Mouvement National Royaliste (MNR) group.

[1] The years 1954 and 1956 saw Leblanc launching two other creative ventures: the advertising agency PubliArt, a publicity division of Le Lombard using comics characters in its projects, and Belvision Studios, which produced short and full-length animated films for television and cinema.

The studio is best known for producing animated films based on Franco-Belgian comics series such as Tintin, Asterix and Lucky Luke.

[3][4] Eventually, Dupuis, former rival of Leblanc's Le Lombard publishing house, acquired Belvision and restructured it as a unit under it.
