Bob de Groot

Robert de Groot[1] (26 October 1941 – 17 November 2023) was a Belgian comic books artist and writer.

While still a young art student de Groot got his first comics experience as an assistant to Maurice Tillieux on Félix.

[1] He began creating shorter work for the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Pilote, with creators such as Hubuc, Reiser.

When the artist Turk joined to assist on the series, de Groot gradually took on increasing amounts of work as scenarist and went on to collaborate with Turk on several series, including Archimède, Robin Dubois and eventually Raymond Macherot's Clifton.

With Rodrigue he created Doggyguard and continued the Clifton series, and with Morris he collaborated on stories for Lucky Luke and Rantanplan.
