Tina Topstrip #10

This 1979 Dutch digest from Oberon collects strips featuring Tina, with Gideon Brugman handling every visual aspect of the cover — pencils, inks, and lettering — in what amounts to a complete artistic vision from a single hand. The issue's highlighted story, "Het lied van de rivier" ("The Song of the River"), written by Lo Hartog van Banda, promises the kind of warmhearted adventure that made Tina a beloved fixture in Dutch comics. A fine slice of late-seventies European comics craft, brought together by a tight creative partnership.
