On this website, I'll tell the history of the Weekly (and related Dutch Disney publications). This history can be divided quite naturally into 5 time periods. Apart from the prehistoric times, we have: ancient times (1952 - 1962), the dark ages (1963 - 1972), the renaissance (1973 - 1982), the new era (1983 - 1992), and the contemporary era (1993 - present).

Every time period has its own characteristics, for instance what kind of stories were published in the Weekly. I tell more details on the various pages.

With every year, I try to note some interesting things. Apart from a general introduction to the Weekly in that year, I'm also talking about other publications (magazines and albums) besides the Weekly, nice-to-know facts, and my own personal memories of that year.

I also collect the opinion of other people: which of the 50 years was the best, and why? You can contribute to this: send me an e-mail with the answer to that question, and I may put your answer on this website!
(Also mention your name and year of birth in your answer.)

This website is fully bi-lingual: all texts are available both in English and in Dutch.
When you send in a text, you can use either language. I will take care of a translation to the other language.

As I wrote: this site is "under construction". As a quick reference to which parts are already here, or which parts have been added recently, have a look at the "overview"pages.

Finally: the "me" on this website is Harry Fluks. You can e-mail me at: h.w.fluks AT wxs.nl.
And I look approximately like this:

Many scans on this site were made by Roy Kooijman and Kjell Croné. Thanks guys!
