Flemming Andersen

I et hjørne på tegnestuen Gimle i København har den danske tegneserieskaber Flemming Andersen sit tegnebord. Her produceres tegneserier til verdenseksport.
Flemming Andersen blev født i 1968. Da han havde overstået gymnasium og militær forsøgte han forgæves at få foden inden for som tegner på sjællandske reklamebureauer og aviser. På Gutenberghus var man heller ikke interesseret i at benytte sig af Flemming Andersens tegninger, men opfordrede ham i stedet til at forsøge sig med Disney-figurer. De har forfulgt ham siden.
De første måneder skrev Flemming Andersen historier til Gutenberghus' Disney-udgivelser. Hans debut som tegner foregik i Anders And & Co. nr. 42/1991, hvor hans 2-siders fætter Vims-historie Moderæs blev publiceret. Derefter har han lavet længere historier i bedste italienske Disney-stil til Jumbo-bøgerne, bl.a. Panik i Pyramiden til bog nr. 147.
I 1997 har Flemming Andersen desuden assisteret Egmont med at udvikle Disney-historier til det japanske marked.
I 1999 er Flemming Andersen desuden begyndt at illustrere børnebøger for forlaget Alrune.

Comic book creator Flemming Andersen has his drawing table in a corner of Gimle Studio in Copenhagen. Comics for world export are produced here. Flemming Andersen was born in 1968. When he had finished high school and military service, he tried without success to get a foot in the door as an illustrator for Danish advertising agencies and newspapers. The Danish Disney publisher Gutenberghus/Egmont, was also not interested in using Flemming Andersen's illustrations, but instead urged him to try his hand with Disney characters. They have haunted him since. The first months Flemrning Andersen wrote stories for Egmonts' Disney publications. His debut as a comics artist took place in Donald Duck and Co. no. 42/1991, where his 2-page Cousin Feathery story, Slaves of Fashion, was published. Since then he has created longer stories in the best Italian Disney style for the Jumbo -books.
