Dany, pseudonym for Daniel Henrotin (born January 28, 1943) is a Belgian comic book artist, best known for Olivier Rameau and Ça vous intéresse?.

Daniel Henrotin was born in Marche-en-Famenne in 1943.[1] After studying at the Art School of Liège, he started working as a comics artist in 1966, as an assistant for Mitteï, an artist working for Tintin magazine. Dany worked there for a year and then had to leave in order to do his military service.[1]
Afterwards, he started collaborating directly on Tintin magazine with illustrations and short stories, and worked in the studio of Greg, the editor-in-chief of the magazine. Greg wrote a poetic story about Olivier Rameau and the people of Dreamland, and it marked the debut of Dany's first successful and longest running series. They would collaborate on some other short-lived series, and in the 1990s Greg wrote the final two stories of Bernard Prince for Dany after Hermann had quit the series.[1]
Dany obtained critical success with his 1977 collaboration with Jean Van Hamme, Histoire sans héros, a one-off adventure story which reached a wide audience.[1]
But his main commercial success came in 1990 when he started a series of erotic joke comics with Ça vous intéresse?. The series was an instant success, and many artists and writers have collaborated on the books, magazines, and multimedia that have followed since.[1]
