About the series
A lively Dutch comic anthology from Kontekst, De Vrije Balloen ran for twenty issues between 1980 and 1982, offering a platform for the distinctive humor and cartooning of its core trio: André Franquin, Gerrit de Jager, and Wim Stevenhagen. The series showcased a mix of serialized and standalone strips, capturing the irreverent, playful spirit of early-80s European comics. It remains a fondly remembered showcase for the collaborative and individual talents of these three creators.
