Little is known about the French comics artist Georges Sogny, who drew 'Bernard Tempête' in Le Journal de Mickey from 1939 to 1944. When the publication of the American newspaper comic 'Don Winslow of the Navy' was cancelled in Le Journal de Mickey in 1939, it was replaced by the 'Bernard Tempête' series, which came from the own comics production. Note that the French name for 'Don Winslow' was also 'Bernard Tempête', so this French comic was actually meant as a continuation of the American original, drawn by Leon Beroth, Edd Ashe and Leonard Starr, among others. These strips were illustrated by a certain Sogny, who illustrated the adventures of this athletic mariner until July 1944.
