Sjef van Oekel #1

Published in 1981 by Paul Rijperman, this Dutch album introduces Sjef van Oekel — the beloved television personality — in his very first comics adventure, as the story title itself cheekily announces that he's somehow ended up in a strip. The creative pairing of writer Wim T. Schippers and artist/inker Theo van den Boogaard brings a sharp, witty sensibility to the page, with Van den Boogaard's linework carrying the full visual weight of both pencils and inks on the cover. A fun piece of 1981 Dutch pop culture, priced at 9,90 guilders.
