Charlepoeng by Luc de Ro
'Charlepoeng'.

Luc de Ro, whose real name was Robert Berghmans, was mainly a painter, whose surrealistic and symbolic works were related to actuality. He made illustrations for postcards and posters, and for the magazines Ons Volkske (portraits of historical figures), Kuifje, Onder-Ons, De Volksmacht, Marsch, De Werker, Hernieuwen, De Standaard, Het Volk and De B.J.B.'er. For De Volksmacht, he made the comic 'Charlepoeng', about the legendary Flemish Brabant Brigand, in 1953. He also made the short strip 'Uit Maria's Leven' in Doorbraak in 1954. Berghmans was one of the innovators of the Flemish graphical art of the 1950s.

He died in 2005.
