Vic Video

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vic Video (Dutch: Ben Beeld, but sometimes also referred to as Max) is a comic book character created by Belgian writer Roger Leloup. He appears in the Yoko Tsuno series. Before meeting Yoko, he directed live TV shows. He is often the voice of reason and prudence moderating Yoko's impulsiveness. Vic appears in all albums except Aventures électroniques, L'Or du Rhin and La Pagode des brumes.

At the start of Le Trio de l'étrange, Vic and Pol are co-workers at a TV production company, Vic directs and Pol is a cameraman. They run into Yoko who, since she is in between jobs, agrees to help them produce a television special about an underground river. This expedition leads to their discovery of the Vineans and their lasting friendship with Yoko.

Vic has a strong personality, and is a close friend of the main character Yoko. There are several hints that he and Yoko are romantically involved (for example in La Fille du vent and Les Exilés de Kifa), but these have been very limited.
