He belongs to the École of Charleroi .

Draftsman

Tillieux exerted in two fields:

• humorous detective series, with in particular its creations Felix , Marc Jaguar and especially Gil Jourdan ;
• the gag in a half-page, mainly represented by its Anti-hero César and the series Marc Lebut and his neighbor presenting the adventures of a Ford T.

Scenario writer

Maurice Tillieux carried out many scenarios for draftsmen of the newspaper Spirou . Some were original, others were the adaptation of scenarios already written for its own heroes; for example, the scenario of the album a démoniaque plan of Hair and Tondu (drawing Will) comes from a complete history of Felix.

Style

Tillieux marked its young readers deeply, more than his/her colleagues draftsmen or scenario writers. Follower of the clear Line, it liked to play nevertheless time with other, with the turning of a box, with effects of shade and light “prohibited a priori” by this graphic school. But the Tillieux style is defined above all by the quality of its police intrigues, at the same time dry and humorous dialogs which are not without recalling those of Michel Audiard to the cinema, like by the atmosphere of industrial France of the Glorious Thirty, which impregnates all its work. Impassioned of car, it crunched with talent the majority of the mythical vehicles of the post-war period: Dauphine Renault, Facel Vega, Renault Juvaquatre, Citroen Traction Before
