Description from the seller

F066: Original Plate 1 "Talent Hunt" + magazine Baberiba
An exceptional story, in every sense. Bladenuitgeverij VNU struggled in 1974 with substantial PEP subscription losses because boys who grew older could not move on to a successor magazine. Ultimately, in 1975 the idea of merging PEP and Sjors en Sjimmie to cut costs was conceived, but for that, in the summer of 1974 there was still talk of investing in setting up such a continuation magazine. That would have to be BABARIBA, a monthly magazine with complete stories. The theme of the first issue, actually a test issue, was "The Hunt." I was also asked and signed for "Talent Hunt." And so I debuted in the autumn of 1975 twice: in October in Babariba and a month later in issue 48 of the PEP! The only Babariba faded away quietly.
Here is the opening page of my contribution. A large page! The pasted-in model for the logo is by Fred Julsing; that girl appeared in all issues. The rest is mine, and not bad for a beginner! I later used those four pages to more easily start the Frank story Circus Santekraam. Although back then, as ambitious as I was, I did redraw them, so the time savings weren’t enormous after all.

Large and grand page! Talent Hunt, Babariba 1 from 1974. Ink on drawing cardboard 60x50 cm. Signed
Page: Babariba 1 1974, Signed

The winner of this lot also receives, for this auction, in an edition of 150 unnumbered, a special color print in A4 format, signed by Henk Kuijpers. The original of this print is also in this auction (see lot 150)
