Been born November 17 1927 to Fountain the bishop, Maurice Rosy will reign easy-going for twenty years on the graphic development of the new comings to the newspaper of SPIROU, before beginning a new one and brilliant career of graphic designer and illustrator to Paris, totally outside of the comic strip!
The editor Charles Dupuis engages it in 1954 as "giver of ideas" and the load quickly of the responsibility of the drawing office of the business. Rosy will assume thus a function rather vague of "artistic director" up to 1971, offering generous its counsels when they are asked for him, but refusing itself to impose rigid rules that could break the momentum of its supplicants.
In parallel, it furnishes some scenarios to Franquin for "Spirou and Fantasio" ("The Dictator and the mushroom" in 1953 and "The Pirates of the silence" in 1955) and Jijé ("Yucca Ranch", the second adventure of "Jerry Spring"). His more beautiful success in this domain is resumed it scenario of "Tif and Shorn" for Will and the creation of Mr. Shock, sort of Fantômas of the BD to immediate impact. Of 1954 to 1969, it composes about twenty episodes surprising for these heroes before passing the relay to Maurice Tillieux.
It fixes also complete provisional broken down authors of inspiration. This is as well as it collaborates in the two narratives where Guy Bara transposes in traditional BD to talk his hero of mute strips, "Max the searching one". It writes in 1959 for Roba the first mini-récit presenting its personages of "Ball and Bill". And it develops mass the dog policeman "Attila" for Derib, Swiss young carrying out its first weapons with Peyo.
The creation of the mini-récit in the newspaper will offer to him a remarkable experience field. In these productions to the less exacting graphics view cuts for them reduced, it will be able to launch and form number of young designers. Himself attaches itself particularly to "Booboo", the small convict moaner doing the beautiful days of the inzepocket prison and that it created in collaboration with Pol Deliège. At the end of the years sixty, it will resume it with Maurice Kornblum, and the fact to evolve towards the farcical mute one and a drawing more épuré, near of the cartoon, going until to build around him in the orderlies of the newspaper a fleeting BOOBOO MAGAZINE.
Dived in the very classical world of the narrative comic strip, Rosy never stopped evolving towards the pure graphic research, total and liberated simplification of the bound narrative. One has for him remainder the some boards of an unique one practically extraterrestrial BD, all in geometric forms and with a text of a voluntarily hermetic writing, that opens the field to a controversy of several years between supporters and such a audacity opponents. (The encyclopedia Planet of the BD is itself orderly remainder in his camp while the publishing completely while she omits personages also celebrate as "Mickey" or "Donald"!).
It is not therefore hardly astonishing that it was involved himself in a new French career during the years 70, becoming a press designer and advertising particularly in demand graphic designer, illustrating many books for Bayard, Nathan, Bordas, Hatier and the Presses of the City.

was artistic director of Spirou during the magazine's heyday, as well as a talented and original scenariowriter. He joined the publishing house Dupuis in 1954 as a "man of ideas", a function specially designed for him. Two years later he became artistic director of Spirou. Along with chief editor Yvan Delporte, he was responsible for the magazine's success during the 1950s and 1960s. During their reign, several new new ideas came to light, such as the "mini-books" section. In this section, Rosy wrote the first 'Boule et Bill' story for Jean Roba, and created the prisoner 'Bobo' along with Paul Deliège. The 'Bobo' series appeared in the "normal" pages of Spirou later on, written and drawn entirely by Deliège. Rosy wrote and drew an occasional story with the character in the 1970s, sometimes in cooperation with M.M. Kornblum.
Maurice Rosy wrote some of his best scenarios for the 'Tif et Tondu' series, illustrated by Will. Rosy wrote the scripts for this series from 1955 to 1967. He created the character of the masked Monsieur Choc, Tif and Tondu's biggest and most mysterious enemy. In addition to 'Tif et Tondu', Rosy cooperated on the writing of some 'Spirou et Fantasio' stories with André Franquin ('Le Dictateur et le Champignon' in 1953, and 'Les Pirates du Silence' in 1955). He furtermore wrote a 'Jerry Spring' story for Jijé and some episodes of 'Max l'Explorateur' for Bara. He created 'Attila', the talking dog, in 1967 (illustrated by Derib). Besides his work for Spirou, Rosy was involved the foundation of TVA Dupuis, Dupuis's animation studios, and the launch of the Gag de Poche pocket series.
