The Weekly

Actually, I have little to add to the text (below) that Rob Klein sent in...

Advertisement in the fanzine Striprofiel #5, 1978. Again 1979 promises to become an excellent year, thanks to...
Donald thinks: And considering that I don't like comics at all!

Funny things

The Canny Brannies Giveaway

The Dutch article below shows that the Scrooge story in weekly 1979-35 is based on a real event. Sorry, no English translation available (yet).

The favourite year of... Rob Klein

De beste jaar was 1979!

That year had the best combination of Barks reprints and other old Disney reprints, new Dutch Disney production and non-Disney features. It had 6 Jippes/Milton/Verhagen lead stories, and also 2 by Volker Reiche, also 3 Donald stories by Daan Jippes, and one Mickey story by him. There were lots of covers drawn by Jippes, and several of them for Barks stories.
There were also several Barks stories and covers used. There was also an outburst of much Dutch production of secondary character stories: Dumbo, Li'l Bad Wolf, Li'l Hiawatha. Gus & Jaq, Bucky Bug, Br'er Rabbit and Madam Mim. Several comic strip versions of US Disney films: Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book, and The Brave Little Tailor. Also, several US Bucky Bug stories, and other old US secondary characters' reprints (such as Clara Cluck, a Seven Dwarfs story, and an excerpt from The Three Caballeros) were printed. The back pages continued in good quality with 1/2 year of Taliaferro's Donald, and 1/2 of 1930's Pluto. Non-Disney features such as Co Loerakker's "Elf Lage Landjes", Douwe Dabbert, and illustrated stories also added interest to the comics.

To me the whole period of Cees de Groot and Thom Roep's new group from 1974 to the early 1980s was the "Classic Period", or Renaissance Classic Period.
That marked the start of the heavy Barks reprints, and new Dutch production of both stories and covers, till the end of Jippes/Milton co-production printings, and Daan's heavy production.

1980 was also a great year, with several Jippes/Milton stories, 2 by Volker Reiche, one by Ben Verhagen and 2 by Jippes & Verhagen. It also had Tom Poes and continued old Disney features, and Studio stories and new Dutch production of secondary character stories. But, I think 1979 had the best combination of all, and highest overall quality.
