While still studying at the Gemeentelijke Academie Wetteren (1973-1974), Yan Gevuld, then still under his real name Guy Van de Velde, was published in the Dutch language version of Spirou magazine, Robbedoes (1974). After finishing his education at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten Gent (1977-1978) and the Rijksnormaalschool Gent (1978-1980), he started working in comics and advertising.
