One point for each correct answer. Where I ask what comics a person has created, you get one point for each comic. "Create" in this case does not neccessarily mean "invented", but only that the artist worked with this comic in one way or another.

Mœbius' full name is Jean Henri Gaston Giraud, short Jean Giraud. He also signed some comics as "Gir" - orlok 1 point
He created Blueberry together with Jean-Michel Charlier, but has created many other comics
What comic artist is behind the pseudonym RobVel? What comic(s) did this artist create?
Robert Velter created the famous bell-boy Spirou in 1938. The character later evolved to be reporter and adventurer.

What comic(s) were created by Hugo Pratt?
Hugo Pratt is most famous for having created Corto Maltese, a comic which combines adventure and historic settings. The drawing are fantastic-looking both in colours and in black-and-white.
Comic artists drawing Donald Duck are not allowed to sign their comics in any way. Yet, one artist does sign most of his series "D.U.C.K". What artist and what does the letters mean?
I am surprised that no one found the answer to this one. Keno Don Rosa is educated engineer, but sold his company in 1986 and started drawing Donald Duck for Gladstone Publishing. He is now retired because of problems with his eyes. He made his last comic in 2006. Because of his very special style of drawing, he is almost as iconic as Donald Duck himself, and one of the most famous Duck artists.
In the opening panel of many of his stories the reader can find the letters "D.U.C.K.". This is not really a signature since Disney doesn't allow signatures in their comics, but it's a dedication to The Good Artist, Carl Barks. The letters mean "Dedicated to Uncle Carl from Keno".
What famous american comic artist signed some of his series "Addison"? What comic(s) did this artist create?
Addison Morton Walker (Mort Walker) created Beetle Bailey in 1950 - Kumabjorn 1 point
He also created Hi and Lois together with Dik Browne. Under the pseudonym "Addison", Walker began Boner's Ark in 1968. Other comic strips created by Walker include Gamin & Patches, Mrs. Fitz's Flats, The Evermores, Sam's Strip and Sam and Silo, the last two with Jerry Dumas.
He has created other strips together with Jerry Dumas - Kumabjorn 1 point

Walt Kelly - Bookpossum 1 point
