Catalogue information
Without titles at the back, only mention of the youth books. Vandersteen was given the opportunity to travel to the East when starting this series. Before he left, he instructed his employees to work out the first story. Edward de Rop and son Bob (Robert) Vandersteen would take care of the inking and the sets respectively, while Verschuere did the pencil work. When Vandersteen returned on October 27, 1959, the story was completely ready for publication. On November 5, 1959, the announcement of 'The Broken Sword' appeared in the newspaper. The story was to be offered in album form by Christmas 1959, even before the story was completely finished in the newspaper.
