About the series
From 1974 to 1985, Oberon collected the classic newspaper adventures of Tom Poes and his blustering friend Olivier B. Bommel into 32 comic albums, bringing the beloved creations of Marten Toonder and his studio to a new generation. These stories, originally serialized in Dutch papers, follow the clever cat Tom Poes as he navigates a whimsical world of eccentric characters—including the pompous Markies de Canteclaer van Barneveldt and the scheming Hocus Pas—often solving problems that the well-meaning but bumbling Bommel inadvertently creates. A cornerstone of Dutch comics, the series is cherished for its gentle satire, rich language, and timeless charm.
