I received a series of dedications from a collecting fan, who whishes to remain anonymous. Thanks, man! Capricorne with cat, Cromwell Stone, Un demon, Man-beast, Pour Pierre . Yves, Pour Patrice, Pour Ludovic, Rork in the wind, Rork, grim, Ils ne m'ont pas écouté.

I invite you all to send in more scans of such one-of-a-kind pictures Andreas has drawn (for you). Please share them with other fans.

He also sent "Capricorne" - Les chinois, Wallpaper Quintos, Cromwell Stone, terrified, Poster La caverne du souvenir, and Le pirate.

The last Rork album was released in Poland at last: Retour. Thanks to publisher Manzoku. Karol Wiśniewski was so kind as to inform us.

I subcategorized the section "Images", because the number of images became too large.

And I browsed the internet for some of the covers of the Spanish editions of Andreas' work: Lumière d'étoile, Capricorne, Descente, Donjon Monsters: La carte majeure, Cromwell Stone, Le retour de Cromwell Stone, Le testament de Cromwell Stone, White Dust, Dorro Zengu, Feu Croisé, Retrouvailles.

That's all for now. However, I recently received tons of pictures which I hope to place soon. If time allows.

In November, Lombard published the French edition of -- empty title --. The album has no title and no text inside, so we will not ask the publisher to please please translate the work :)

Karol Wiśniewski notified us that the first two Capricorne albums are released in Poland: L'objet and Electricité.

Andreas did some drawings for the third album of Clarke's series "Mister President" Mister President 3: Time Machine and for the collective album Pourquoi j’aime la bande dessinée (thanks for noticing, Mikaël Devaux!)

Great many thanks to a contributor who sent the original picture of Espace vital - An illustration with a text of Rudy Rucker, the intriguing picture Tante Germania and the picture Oscar.

Pierre Loubere sent Civilisation television, Sailing ship, Man in cup and saucer, Men stabbing, Rork illustration, Légende des Nibelungen, Saint Georges, Happy animals, Heart; thanks a lot, Pierre!

I was wondering about the magazine "Hello Bédé", in which Andreas published. It appears that the French Tintin magazine was named like that from 1989 to 1993. Some googling later I found the covers of all Tintin / Kuifje / Hello Bédé covers on
http://lejournaldetintin.free.fr/
This helped me to adapt the page Tintin/Hello BD (fr); Kuifje (nl).

And if all this wasn't enough... Andreas participated in a magnificent series of albums (4) L'univers des dragons about dragons for which he created a marvellous illustration of a dragon spitting fire: Dragon.

Turbulent times for Polish Andreas fans! Publisher Twój Komiks went bankrupt, just before their publication of the final Rork album. This was especially upsetting since the publisher was, so it seems, holding on to the publication rights. Some time later publisher Manzoku took over the Rork series. They intend to publish the final album and start publishing the Capricorne albums. In the meanwhile the Polish publisher Egmont published Cromwell Stone: all 3 albums

Pierre Loubere again pleasantly surprised me by sending me many of the images I was still looking for, and others: L'épave, Cyrrus, Border - An illustration with a text of José-Luis Bocquet, Espace vital - An illustration with a text of Rudy Rucker, Comics Lit, Le cavalier blanc (after Lucky Luke) Thanks Pierre!

I sent an e-mail to Le Lombard naming your desires to have the latest Capricorne album published in Dutch. Their response was that is not going to happen, at least not this year.

In the meanwhile, we can enjoy the material Pierre Loubere sent me. The covers of Titanic, the long awaited Cover illustration Les Cahiers de la Bande Dessinée, nr. 73 and Cover illustration Je Bouquine #46, along with some of the pictures Andreas created for Au secours des hommes - 40 Illustrations for novel Jean Coué. Attention, auteurs méchants, Le Lombard 60 ans après - Andreas, and Les croqueurs de sable, tome 4: l'âme braise. Thanks so much, Pierre!

In Andreas on the WWW (2001) I added a section on the Wikipedia pages on Andreas work.

Both Wim Dewilde and Ghislain de Cadoudal pointed out to me that the new Capricorne album, named Patrick, is to appear shortly (November of this year?).
Pierre Loubere answered my question regarding L'ecrin: it contains sketches, four of which are by Andreas/Foerster: studies for the album Styx. See Laurel Hardy carrying some device and Demons, and pointing guns.
I dug up the article Wim Dewilde wrote for ZozoLala in 2004 in which he describes his cracking the language of Arq: Nooit geweten: Arq (2004). Apparently "Tom" thought it should be on the site :) (see guestbook).
I added some information on L'ours. Some French Wikipedia activity on Andreas is also going on; see

Thanks, all!

Tom Verschueren has sent me a lot of new material. Thanks! Here it is: Raffington in the rain, Little Rork in the snow, The captain, Bernard Wright in corner, Silhouette of Pharass, Adam Neels with bow and arrow, Raffington under a streetlantern, Rork with ferryman skeletons, Andreas: 'I transform consciously: I don't draw something as I see it, but the way it's in my head' (1985), Cromwell Stone and Gordon Globe, New-year's wish for 1988, New year's card 1989, Happy Number 50!..., ZozoLala and two more wallpapers at Le Lombard Capricorne wallpapers. He also mentioned that Andreas has started signing autographs again, at
Programme des dédicaces du Salon du Livre
Due to my own sloppyness I failed to notice the dates: 17 and 18 March. Hopefully this was not the only time ...

Wiel Felder has translated the signs in Feu Croisé. Thanks! I myself haven't even bought the book yet :}

I myself added the cover at Je Bouquine, Retrouvailles, Coffret tomes 1 à 3, and L'ecrin. Does anyone know what Andreas did exactly for L'ecrin?

In March two new albums will appear: Quintos (Dargaud, Sherpa) and Feu Croisé (Delcourt, Sherpa). Thanks for bringing to my attention, Tom Verschueren, Ghislain de Cadoudal, and Wiel Felder! This is the first time Isa Cochet is mentioned on the cover; she has worked with Andreas for a long time, but thus far the was only credited with coloring. You will have noticed that the guestbook is being spammed a lot lately. I am fighting back. I hope this is a passing phase.

Le Passage and Retrouvailles are out. Thanks to Julien Mudry for providing better cover scans of De vergetenen and L'ambition narrative. Thanks to Wojciech Garncarz for the covers of the German Coutoo and Raffington Event - detective. Thanks to Wim Dewilde for the unchosen cover of Le Passage.

Thanks to Martijn Bezuijen for Le Lombard Capricorne wallpapers and Le Lombard Capricorne e-cards. Note: apparently the cover of 'Forceurs de blocus' was never drawn by Andreas. Newsflash :) Andreas won the Bob-Morane prize in 1999.

Two new albums have appeared that I didn't know of: the Dutch Manipulations Minutieuses and Paroles de parloirs. Does anyone know the name of the story Andreas drew for "Paroles"? Added the pictures Cover Zozolala 18 and Le cavalier blanc (after Lucky Luke). Added the covers and illustrations of Le cycle des Epées. Martijn Bezuijen told me Lombard has changed the cover of Le Passage. It has been on their site. Anyone copied the first one? Translated the little article The spontaneous little Andreas (1996). Can someone fill me in on the missing French line?
A special thanks this time goes to Tom Verschueren who helped me on several pictures and went to great lengths to get all album data right. This is why Le retour de Cromwell Stone has changed greatly, for example.

An anonimous submitter amused us with some new images, including the poster of the comics festival of St Malo that had been announced by him in december 2001.

It has been quiet for some time. But we're still alive. With some good news. Pieter van Oudheusden is going to translate Capricorne 6, 7, and 8 into Dutch, for Lombard. (Thanks for the information, Mat!) They will probably be published in the spring of 2003.
As you have already seen, I changed the looks of the top menu. It now looks more like I wanted it to, like a dossier, or file.
Thanks to Adriaan Bogaerts the front covers of the Cromwell Stone albums are now complete. This makes the collector in me very satisfied.

Mat Schifferstein of Sherpa told me 'De vergetenen' is going to press now and will be ready in three weeks. Apparently getting permission to print the work took more time than expected.
In the meanwhile Paul Zamarlo sent us some beautiful pictures of Rork from the Polish version of 'Fragments' which can be found in the illustrations section; Julien Mudry noted that Andreas made a story which I've called Rennes (France) (he sent in the scans, too!), lacking a better title, for Comix 2000. And I added Cover Zozolala 82 and Le dragon bleu.

Added L'ambition narrative (which I should have done long ago), two covers of the new Polish Rork albums, and the cover of the Dutch version of Seconde Chance. I like the Mobilis series. It reminds me of "Jessica Blandy", another series I read. I had never expected that Andreas would make something like that. It's fascinating.

Thanks to Mat Schifferstein of Sherpa it was now possible for me to add an Expected () section; this is really an improvement. Up till now I myself had to go to the bookshop every month to see if something new had come out. He has suggested to keep me up to date. Of course I am not _THE AUTORITY_ on this subject. I only know as much as people tell me.
I added the polish Andreas albums that were published in 1989. Thanks to Paul Zamarlo for pointing them out to me.

An anonimous submitter tells us Andreas has won the Great price of the comics festival of St Malo for his entire oeuvre. That also means he may draw the poster for next year's festival.

The site has been out of the air for almost 2 weeks. Sorry about that. The contract with my free domain name provider had finished and I had to pay for it now. But it was so expensive that I decided to look for a cheaper one. I found 'Domain Discount 24' to be cheap enough. But first I had to wait 5 days until I could change providers. Then I had some trouble with the new provider. Anyway, its all running again now.

The lame search engines didn't do anything with my requests. Anyway, the die-hard Andreas fans still know where to find the site.
I was contacted by an anonimous submitter who flooded my mailbox with new Andreas pictures from his own collection. Thanks! This means the 'Illustrations' section is extended again with some fantastic Styx monsters. New are also some bookmarks and ex-libris but most of them can be found near the albums they belong to.
It appears that the latest Capricorne album (Attaque) is not going to be published in Dutch by Sherpa. That seems very unwise since the series is meant to bring Andreas to a larger audience.
Sherpa _will_ bring out a book containing all kinds of material on Andreas within a few months.
Andreas is going to work on the third part of Cromwell Stone, but this will probably take him the next few years to complete. In the mean while ... I brought back the VRML object I once made of the 'key' in Cromwell Stone. It's a 700K file, but it gives you a real 3D impression of the object! (In the 'Illustrations' section.)

. We talked about joining our websites, but eventually I found the combination of the English and the French sites too problematic. We agreed to exchange resources, so the illustrations section of this site is bigger now.
He also adviced me on the usability of this site, so I made some changes. I changed the layout. Since most people are mostly interested in watching pictures, I made them more prominent. The Album-edition pages are now integrated with the Album pages. All of this is meant to make the site more accessible.
I started hosting the site on my girlfriend's old desktop at home, which was for this occasion turned into a Linux machine. If she can stand the sound of the fan at night it will stay there. This means that the annoying banners are history (Thanx ProHosting ;) .
