Corentin is a series of comics created by Belgian artist Paul Cuvelier (1923–1978). Influenced by Robinson Crusoe, Cuvelier created the character of Corentin Feldoë in 1943. The character first appeared in a series of watercolors that Cuvelier made for his own family. Hergé, convinced of the merit of these watercolors, commissioned Cuvelier to do a series of comic strips. Thus, Corentin first made its appearance in Tintin magazine on September 26, 1946. Originally, the final story was published in 1974, four years before Cuvelier's death. 42 years later, a new album was published, written by Jean Van Hamme.
