He is probably best known for his Western comics such as the children's comic Yakari, and the more mature works Buddy Longway and Celui-qui-est-né-deux-fois (He-who-was-born-twice). He draws in both a realistic style, and a cartoon style (similar to other Franco-Belgian cartoonists, such as Peyo, Albert Uderzo etc.), with a fondness for drawing majestic landscapes of the American West. Many of his major works feature Sioux Native Americans as main characters, and he has stated in interviews that he holds great admiration for the tribe.
