serious clear line artist is the Dutchman Peter van Dongen, who created the Rampokan series about the Dutch colonisation of Indonesia. Ligne claire is not confined to Franco-Belgian comics. It has also been popular with Italian artists such as Vittorio Giardino, Spanish artists such as Paco Roca and Francesc Capdevila Gisbert ("Max"), British artists such as Martin Handford, Bryan Talbot and Garen Ewing, Norwegian artists such as Jason, American artists such as Chris Ware, Geof Darrow, Jason Lutes, and Jason Little, and Italian-Australian artists such as Ilya Milstein. In 2022, the first monograph entirely dedicated to the clear line (The Clear Line in Comics and Cinema: A Transmedial Approach, by Portuguese scholar David Pinho Barros), was published by Leuven University Press in the collection "Studies in European Comics and Graphic Novels".
