Midam (born 16 May 1963) is the pseudonym of Michel Ledent, the Belgian comics author best known for ''Kid Paddle''. ==Biography== Michel Ledent was born in Etterbeek near Brussels in 1963. He studied illustration and interior decoration at the Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels, and started creating comics in 1989 for the computer magazine ''Micro-Systèmes''. Under the pseudonym Midam, he joined ''Spirou'' magazine in 1992 as an illustrator for the videogames section. The character he created there, ''Kid Paddle'', soon got its own series, which became very popular, with over 4 million copies sold in French. New albums sell some 400,000 copies in French alone, making it one of the top ten best-selling French language comics series. In 2002, a separate ''Kid Paddle'' magazine was launched, and an animated TV series was created as well, with so far 104 episodes. The spin-off series ''Game Over'' was created in 2004, presenting the misadventures of the main character of the video games Kid Paddle is fond of playing in his own albums. The comic is wordless and is according to Midam inspired by the everfailing quests of Wile E. Coyote. The first album sold 60,000 copies. Other series by Midam were ''Le Gowap'', which was continued by Curd Ridel, and ''Durant les Travaux, l'Exposition Continue'' with Clarke. Midam is married to Chilean Araceli Cancino, who translates his works into Spanish. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Midam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
