Andreas left Twitter because he was "just fed up with all the crazies and idiots on the platform" (he told me when I asked him about it via email). "I tried to avoid them but the algorithm kept bringing them back.".
Andreas is still available on Instagram with photos and pictures.
Thanks for pointing it out to us, Peter!

Ralph Ulbrich sent me the complete picture of the 2019 new year's wish. Thanks!
I added the 2013 wish as well.
Moritz von Wolzogen alerted me to the new Cyrrus-Mil edition of Schreiber & Leser. First time Cyrrus appears in German. It's good that it finally appeared. Cyrrus is one of my personal favorites. The album deals with abstract concepts like time and causation, the characters are strong, it has a fast-paced storyline, and the album is very emotional. Strong cover image it has too, in this edition.

Andreas is back with an intriguing new album: L'argentine. Thanks, Peter Motte for pointing it out! It was published by Futuropolis, a new publisher for Andreas.
Here's an introduction video
Andreas and Isa Cochet were at the Vienna Comix festival on 6 and 7 April.
You can find an interview with Andreas and Isa (in German) in the festival program
I added items on Franquin and Breccia because Andreas names them his most important influences.
Schreiber & Leser published Capricorn - Gesamtausgabe 6, Capricorn - Gesamtausgabe 7 and La caverne du souvenir.
More information on their website.
In november the American publisher Titan Comics published Cromwell Stone: all 3 stories in a single volume. The edition even got its own trailer, which I think is pretty awesome!
Here's a review.
Le Lombard published an integral series of Capricorne in four large volumes: Capricorne - intégrale 1 Capricorne - intégrale 2 Capricorne - intégrale 3 Capricorne - intégrale 4 The last one is expected in januari.
I found out that Spanish publisher ECC Comics published Rork Integral in 2015.

Dérives 2 was published, a sequence to Dérives, an album from '91 (26 years ago!)
On this album, in which Andreas experiments with different drawing styles, Andreas works with many new artists: Mazan, Dieter, Hyuna and Raven. It contains the story "l'Ours" (the bear), which he made with Cornette in 2001, and the story "Milk" for which Andreas' coloring-partner Isa Cochet did not do the coloring, but the scenario. Surprising!
-- Information from Sceneario
Bernie Wrightson died in March of this year. His influence on Andreas' early work is profound. Andreas drew an homage in his memory: Homage to Bernie Wrightson
Leser & Schreiber published Capricorn - Gesamtausgabe 3 and Capricorn - Gesamtausgabe 4
A French interview with Andreas La BD de la semaine: Andreas et Isabelle Cochet commentent Capricorne 20
A French video interview KABOOM! #33 - Les mondes fantastiques d'Andreas
Portfolio Andreas PDF from Le Lombard Redécouvrons les mondes d'Andreas
Andreas participated for the second time in "Inktober". I collected the pictures in the tab "Images / Inktober 2017".
Karol Wisniewski pointed out that the Dark Horse albums Coutoo and Cromwell Stone were missing from the site. I had classified them as magazine editions from Cheval Noir, the magazine from Dark Horse. I corrected the mistake. Thanks Karol, this cleared up an important misconception.
Andreas is followed by 1857 people on Twitter, he follows 1652 people, he has posted 2517 tweets and liked 2167 tweets.

I (Patrick) found a new employer this year. I am now a Magento developer at BigBridge.
Lombard has published a new version of the wonderful Raffington Event - detective and will publish the album Maître in January 2017.
Here's a video interview with Andreas in German
Ralph Ulbrich sent me a dedication Andreas made for him: Pour Ralph Thanks Ralph!
He also told me about the publication of Capricorn - Gesamtausgabe 1 and Capricorn - Gesamtausgabe 2 by Schreiber&Leser. Great news for German readers who have been waiting since 1999 for the rest of the series since Das Object and Energie.
Checking the list of Aleja Komiksu I saw I missed some Polish editions of 2015. Egmont published Cyrrus-Mil and Coutoo, while Sideca published La caverne du souvenir, Vu de pres, Les cavaliers, and Zarkan
In 2016, Egmont republished Cromwell Stone: all 3 stories and is the first to bundle ARQ (third cycle) Sideca is the first non-french publisher of Terminus
Andreas is now followed by 1,577 people on Twitter.

Begin last year Andreas made Happy New Year 2015
Christiaan ter Veen noted the German interview with Andreas on http://www.comicradioshow.com/Article4223.html and a short description of Mordor Gott in Dutch in the series Schurken en Feeksen.
In October, Andreas participated in a Twitter event, called "Inktober". He drew a picture with pencil each day. I collected the pictures in "Images / Inktober 2015".
Andreas has announced that he will be using @Periscope, a Twitter based app that allows him to do live broadcasts. Check these tweets tweet 1, tweet 2 and this tweet that Andreas retweeted tweet 3. I installed the Periscope Android app and followed Andreas, as are 73 other people, but I am afraid I still have no idea if Andreas has used the app or not, or when he will in the future. The last retweet suggests he may do it today(?), which happens to be his birthday (happy birthday, Andreas :) ).
Both Lombard (French) and Sherpa (Dutch) published a new edition of La caverne du souvenir
Sherpa has published a Dutch version of Cyrrus-Mil
Sherpa and Delcourt have published Ici
Lombard published Terminus (Thanks, Alex Koppert!)
Delcourt's ARQ series is available as e-book, for example at Amazon

Andreas has had expositions at gallery Petit Papiers and at festival Quai-des-Bulles (Pictures of the event).
Remarkable is that we see the first video interviews of Andreas:
Karol Wiśniewski informed me that "Sekret" was published by Manzoku this year: Le sécret. This is good news, of course. But Polish fans are hungry for many more albums.
Tom Verschueren reminded me that it was about time that I'd mention the albums Rork - L'intégrale 1 and Les fantômes :)
Andreas' illustrations may be bought at Petits Papiers
Jeff Wesh created a Pinterest page of Andreas, with many interesting pictures.

Last year New York and Intrus were published.
In March 2011, together with artists of all over the world, Andreas created an illustration for Magnitude 9, an album that contains 250 illustrations about the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, to support the victims.
In December Rob Kalis created a very nice animation of Rork's movement sequence in Descente and put it on YouTube.
Sebastian Otten informed me of the German edition of Quintos. I found the Carlsen edition of La montre aux 7 rubis and the cover of Norte Sur

Thanks to Sherpa the abandoned series Capricorne will be continued in Dutch. And thanks to Alex for noticing. Two albums will be released per year, starting with 'Patrick' (part 11). Note: Sherpa prints the albums strictly on demand. So you have to sign up to get a copy! The sign up period ends on April 1st, so if you are interested, make haste!

Andreas sent me some photos of his work-environment for the website. A welcome addition :)
It brought me to rearrange some parts of the site. The new tab 'Photos' contains the photos. Six old tabs were placed below the new tab 'Index'. I also changed the frontpage somewhat. (details at On the Andreas website)

Polish publisher Egmont releases the second ARQ album (that contains 6 stories), as I was so kindly informed by Karol Wiśniewski.
Karol also mentioned a 1985 English edition of Cromwell Stone by publisher Michel Deligne. Coincidentally, Javier Vidiella named another Spanish edition of that same album.
Détectives has appeared (as I was told a long time ago, by Laurent Scheithauer (thank you!) and Wim Dewilde (thanks, btw I really enjoy your Twitter questions)) and Andreas has finished the drawings of New York, the 15th (and final?) Capricorne.
Pierre Loubere noted that interviews with Andreas have appeared in Swof, Slash, and La lettre Thanks once again, Pierre!

After Patrick, Alex Koppert also translated these albums into Dutch: Rêve en cage and L'Operation Great job! Of course it is sad that it has to be done this way, but Dutch readers have a right to know how the series Capricorne continues.
Andreas now has 34 followers on Twitter. He frequently shows photos of new material he is working on, which is often surprising and beautiful.

I have been talking to Andreas, via Twitter. It is very exciting and also a bit strange (I only saw Andreas once, and I spoke him hardly at all, fifteen years ago). At the same time, it feels quite natural to talk to him and I have been asking him several questions. I invite you to do the same. Since April 5, his followers have grown from 7 to 20. The nick "Wattmanworm" is a reference to "MY Wattman Worm" in Capricorne 15, which hasn't appeared yet. Andreas liked the "Dedications" in the Images section of this site. At that point Wim Dewilde (@GajomarCama) offered to help extend this collection. So he added 12 new ones! Thanks man.

Sherpa published ARQ (first cycle) in a single album as well.
Alex Koppert told me he had not been able to wait any longer and translated Patrick himself. I persuaded him to have the document published on this site. Only now I bought the French "Patrick" to enjoy this powerful psychological drama Andreas created. I had been waiting three years to read this dark, gloomy, beautiful work, which is especially fascinating to me of course, since it bears my first name. Thanks, Alex!

The latest ARQ, Maître noir, appeared in March. The Polish editions of Deliah and Le cube numérique were published.
Pierre Loubere continues to be a source of inspiration :) He sent in these bookmarks: Bookmark Monographie 1, Bookmark Monographie 2, Bookmark Swof Capricorne 1, Bookmark Swof Capricorne 2, Bookmark Swof Batman 1, Bookmark Swof Batman 2; this postcard: Postcard Monographie; this ex-libris: Cromwell Stone, up close; and this small article in Tintin magazine: Où ils en sont. La caverne du souvenir (1983).
He also found the "book magazine" Otrante that contains two extended articles on Andreas work, and the magazines Viper and Dynamick. The latter contains the image Black-and-white poster for the exhibition 'Bulles' in Bordeaux.
I stopped hosting the site at home. It is now served by

(my longtime reliable domain name registrar). It will most likely be faster now, and will also be available when I am on holiday :)

This time I deliver the material I promised you a week ago. All thanks to Pierre Loubere. Where he finds it, I don't know :)
First there are the covers of some magazines Andreas published in: Brazil, Circus, Curiosity Magazine, Solaris, Onapratut magazine, Cover Belzébulle.
Then there are some articles: The pirate invited: Andreas (1981), Main part for Rork (1986), Conan lui dire (2003).
Some illustrations Poster La caverne du souvenir, the cover of Catholic Boyscout's calendar 1989., Pourquoi j'aime la bande dessinée, Maître Andreas.
And I conclude this time with an album by Yves Frémion, who interviewed many young and promising comics artists, back in 1982. Among them, Andreas: Les nouveaux petits-miquets.

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 stories
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 , 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 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

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?

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 an anonimous submitter for Sérigraphie, Ex-libris Testament Forbidden Zone, the cover of Sans dessus dessous, and the ex-libris in Le testament de Cromwell Stone. Thanks to M. 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. M. 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.

Quentin updated his site

with some beautiful new pictures and stories. I copied the pictures and added these: Screaming man with thorns and A l'aube de la liberté.

Update! Adriaan Bogaerts surprised me with Dream is over. An anonimous submitter sent this funny Birth Card. And Michał Antosiewicz of Twój Komiks lets us know the Polish Capricorne is out.

Added a small article: Mobilis 1: Strubbelingen (2000), these pictures: La messagère, Fantalia, Cover of RPG-book, and some comments on the first Rork edition: Fragments.
Cromwell Stone, part 3, is delayed until spring/summer 2004. I hope it means that Andreas is working on a worthy closure of his Magnum Opus.

An anonimous submitter responded immediately to my request for the Alpha Comics (later: Kunst der Comics) Cromwell Stone albums. Erik van Tilborg added the covers for the German Rork albums by Alpha Comics. And as a "special treat" this time from an anonimous submitter: the cover of the Spanish Azteca.

Thanks again, Peter, to make sure I am not missing anything that is available anywhere on the Internet. Thanks, Marc Bavay, for the cover scans of the Bédérama edition of Révélations posthumes. Does anyone have a copy of the german edition of Cromwell Stone (and the return of - ), by Alpha Comics?

Andreas is now first published in Czech, in an architectonic magazine! See Era 21.
Special thanks go to Peter Kuipers, of Sherpa, who sent in a lot of additions and modifications. Take a look at the cover of Sherpa's Dorro Zengu.

Donjon Monsters: La carte majeure is (almost) available!
Italian: Alessandro updated the info we have on Andreas' publications in Italian magazines.
Paul Zamarlo emailed the cover of the Polish Lumière d'étoile. It took me 2 hours to find the unicode code of the letter 'ł' in the title! :)
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.
And since Lombard has removed Andreas' new year's wish for 2002, I have placed it on this site. Thanks, M. Bezuijen, for noting its presence at the time.

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 Cromwell Stone, up close 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.

Yuri Landman sent me some pictures that will appear in Sherpa's De vergetenen.
Read in Expected that Rork is published again in Polish. Since only the first two albums were published in 1989, Polish Andreas fans (and they exist!) have been waiting for 12 years for the rest!

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.
And John Lent of IJOCA agreed that I could publish Philippe Sohet's scolarly article Figures and Representation of the Fantastic in Andreas's Work (2001).
Finally, It's OK by me to use the guestbook to sell or trade your Andreas albums, etc.

I found a new job! And it's really cool, too! I am working for Green Dino, a virtual reality company.
http://www.greendino.nl
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.
I added a link to Christiaan's Capricornus site in Andreas on the WWW.
And Didier Crick sent me a picture of the Belgian boyscouts calender (Catholic Boyscout's calendar 1989.).

I added two articles,
The C of Andreas. Cromwell Stone, Cythraul and Cyrrus (1984), and
La caverne du souvenir: a Celtic fairytale with a deeper meaning (1985); and a guestbook. The site is now recognized by the search engines Google (!) and Ilse (Dutch).

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.)

The site still doesn't show up in any search engine, so I entered the URL manually in a number of engines yesterday. Hope it has any effect. Until then you guys find this site via other friendly comics sites like The Officieuze Strippagina:

who are so kind as to create a link.

Got in contact with Quentin Gausset, the creator and maintainer of
http://quentin.ebbs.net/andreas/
. 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 ;) .
