AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Peter de Smet (1944–2003) is one of the most prominent and original humorists in the Dutch comics world, and in 1985 he was awarded the Stripschap Prize. His distinctive humor and drawing style have influenced many artists. In 2015, The Stripschap named its public award for Dutch comic albums after Peter de Smet.
His career as a comic artist really took off in 1971 when, on the advice of Jan Kruis, he began publishing De Generaal in the magazine Pep. De Generaal was an immediate hit from its very first episode in Pep no. 29 (10–16 July 1971)! Before long, its creator had found his winning formula. Each episode was built around the same gag. The main character, simply called “De Generaal” (“The General”), wants to seize power, represented by “Het Fort” (“The Fort”), which is occupied by “De Maarschalk” (“The Marshal”). The General’s army consists of one unmotivated soldier and a professor. The professor is always coming up with new disguises and vehicles to make the General’s master plan succeed. Shortly after launching De Generaal, de Smet started Joris P.K., a medieval adventure comic in the style of Peyo’s Johan and Peewit, but with de Smet’s own quirky humor added. Between 1972 and 1974, de Smet drew four stories in this series for Pep, followed by two more for Nieuwe Revu in 1974–1975, and another for Eppo Wordt Vervolgd in 1986. De Generaal, and especially Joris P.K., are considered by connoisseurs to be among the masterpieces of Dutch comics.
This lot contains a beautiful, very early, fully worked-out page for Joris P.K. from Peter de Smet’s early period. Very rare work. Ready to be inked. Original, early Joris P.K. sketch work is extremely rare and is almost never offered for sale. Peter de Smet generally threw this kind of material away. Fortunately, this page by the virtuoso has survived. Before being offered here, this beautiful page had been kept in a private collection for more than 45 years. A unique opportunity for the discerning collector.
See also the photographs, which form part of the description and provide a good impression of this unique page.
This beautiful page will be shipped to its new owner in packaging that offers maximum protection.
