He received, for the “Games” category, the Prix Pixel-INA at the Imagina Festival (1999), Monaco, and was awarded to the Phenix Awards (2002) as personality of the year and he won the GameSpy PC Adventure Game of the Year (2002) for the Syberia video game. For this grandiose project, the artist follows each step: design, scenery, game design, construction, graphics, and dialogues. Since the late 1990s he has become famous for the creation of video games and, in particular, for the saga Syberia. Sokal was one of the first cartoonists to design, implement, and oversee the entirety of a video game. He was among the pioneers who ventured into color comics through the help of computers: in 1996, he launched his first video game titled Amerzone, after discovering and interacting with the world of 3D. The first issue dates back to 1979 and over the course of his career, including very recently, Sokal published other stories related to this character.
It is to him that we owe the comic series Inspector Canardo, published today by Casterman: the protagonist of this comic is an anthropomorphic duck who, with the vices of smoking and alcohol, works as an investigator.
