Biography

While still a young art student de Groot got his first comics experience as an assistant to Maurice Tillieux on "Félix".Cite web|last=Lambiek Comiclopedia|title=Bob de Groot|url=http://lambiek.net/artists/d/de-groot_bob.htm] He began creating shorter work for the comics magazine "Pilote", with creators such as Hubuc, Reiser. With Fred as scenarist he drew the strip "4 x 8 = 32 L'Agent Caméléon" in the late 60s. When the artist Turk joined to assist on the series, de Groot gradually took on increasing amounts of work as scenarist and went on to collaborate with Turk on several series, including "Archimède", "Robin Dubois" and eventually Raymond Macherot's Clifton. They also created "Léonard" for "Achille Talon" magazine in 1975, before de Groot began a prolific production of comics scenarios for many comics artists, including Tibet, Dupa, Francq, Greg and Dany. With Rodrigue he created "Doggyguard" and continued the "Clifton" series, and with Morris he collaborated on stories for "Lucky Luke" and "Rantanplan".
