“Christophe”
Georges Colomb.
France, 1856 to 1945
Marie-Louis-Georges Colomb (Lure, Haute-Saône, 25 May 1856, Nyons, 3 January 1945) was a French botanist, science populariser, and a pioneer of French comics, known as bandes dessinées. Under the pseudonym Christophe (playing on "Christophe Colomb", the French name for Columbus), Colomb created comics that were popular among the French intelligentsia, yet were published in Le Petit Français illustré, a children's paper. His popular L'idée fixe du savant Cosinus (1893 to 1899) featured a brilliant, absent-minded scientist.
