Biography
After studying in the Antwerp academy of fine arts, Bob de Moor began to work in a cartoon studio, Afim.
In 1945, he drew Bart le Moussaillon in the magazine Kleine Zondagsvriend, as well as stories with inspector Marks professor Hobbel and his assistant Sobbel. In late 1945 and in 1946 he worked for the magazine ABC and maked a lot of humorous cartoons.
In 1947, he began his first comic in french language, le Mystère du Vieux Château-Fort, on a story by John van Looveren.
He published it in the Flemish papers (Moneke et Johnekke, Janneke et Stanneke, Het Leven van J.B. de la Salle), and worked for the magazine Tintin and his flemish equivalent, Kuifje.
In 1950, he joined the Studios Hergé, where he became first assistant. He supervises the secondary drawings of Tintin and his friends. He also participated in the making of the animated version of Prisoners of the Sun and Tintin and the Lake of Sharks.
In 1959, de Moor created Pirates d'Eau Douce, and in 1970, he drew the episode Le Repaire du Loup of the series Lefranc.
In the 1980's, he worked with Studios Hergé on the settings of Explorers on the Moon, on the new version of The Black Island (he was invited by the British editor), merchandising, advertising and animated films.
After Hergé's death in 1983, he wanted to complete the unfinished Tintin and Alph-Art, but Fanny, Georges Remi's widow, after hesitating, decides that the comic will stay unfinished.
In 1989, he completed the second part of The Three Formulas of Prof. Sato, which was also unfinished after the death of his friend Edgar Pierre Jacobs. The same year, he became the artistic manager in the [[éditions du Lombard]] and chairman of the CBBD's (Belgian Centre of Comics) board of directors, until his death in 1992.
His son Johan de Moor finished his last album of the series Cori le Moussaillon, Dali Captain, which was published in January 1993.
