Crepax brought profound stylistic and narrative innovation to the world of comics. It is therefore that comic festivals around the globe periodically celebrate the importance of his work through exhibitions and accolades. He was also a versatile illustrator and graphic artist, endowed with a line that lends itself perfectly to striking public and private installations with strong visual impact.
