Hurey

After his artistic studies at the St. Lucas in Schaarbeek, Hugo de Reymaker worked at the Belvision studios from 1959 to 1960. He drew his first comics for Tintin/Kuifje under the pseudonyms Hugo or Fonske from the early 1960s. He illustrated several short stories, as well as the series 'Didi Soda' with scripts by Jacques Acar, Guy Mortier or Vicq.

He was also present in Ons Volkske, with 'De Avonturen van Gerarke', 'De Bende van Black & Co', 'De Nieuwe Avonturen van Lancelot', and the gag series 'De Avonturen van Hippo en Theo'. Hurey cooperated on the magazine Pats from the first issue in 1962. He drew the series 'Bert en Bettie', 'Roy Blent' and 'De Brammetjes'. He also drew stories with the Marc Sleen characters 'De Lustige Kapoentjes' and 'Piet Fluwijn en Bolleke'.

He began working fulltime for publisher Het Volk and the magazine 't Kapoentje in 1967. There, he drew a modernized version of 'De Lustige Kapoentjes', as well as the series 'Jan Heibel en Piet Koning'. He also began a collaboration with newspaper Het Volk, for which he created the adventure series 'Ketje en Co' and the little Indian 'Pili-Pili'.

The cooperation between Hurey and Het Volk ended in 1976, probably because the sharp political comments he used in his comics weren't appreciated by the paper. By 1978 he worked as an artist for the shortlived advertising magazine Gagzette, for which he created comics like 'Pitche' and 'Pomme et Poire' under the pseudonym Amaie. Hurey moved to Martinique in the 1980s. He died in 2001.
