De avonturen van Dan Cooper

Albert Weinberg’s De avonturen van Dan Cooper, published by Uitgeverij Helmond from 1971 to 1979, follows the career of a Belgian test pilot and astronaut in a series of 23 issues. Co-written at times by Jean-Michel Charlier, this Franco-Belgian series is Weinberg’s signature creation, combining meticulous aviation detail with a clean ligne claire style. It stands as a classic of European adventure comics, reflecting the era’s fascination with aerospace exploration and heroic professionalism.
