A Jerom comic page from the Jerom series dating to 1975, drawn by Eugeen Goossens, measuring 35 x 25 cm, in excellent condition.
Description from the seller
This is an image from the Jerom series.
These strips were drawn by Studio Vandersteen employees from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s for the German market, where the stories of Jerom appeared in various magazines published by Bastei Verlag.
Most of these stories appeared in the magazine Wastl (the German name of Jerom), which at one point even appeared weekly.
Some of the stories originally drawn for Germany were also published in Dutch in the Jerom albums with a green cover.
The plate is from the late 1970s.
The female supporting character is Ingelein, and Jerom has his eyes opened to this, which only happened late in the history of German publications.
This page was signed by Eugeen Goossens, an employee of Studio Vandersteen.
Eugeen Goossens (Antwerp, February 9, 1942) is a former employee of Studio Vandersteen, Willy Vandersteen's comic studio where he worked from 1965 to 1990.
Initially, Goossens mainly contributed to the production of stories for the series Jerom (a spin-off of Suske en Wiske) and Bessy for the German publisher Bastei Verlag, which required a new story to be published every week. In the spring of 1966, Goossens was hired as a full-time employee. He also contributed to De familie Snoek, De Rode Ridder, Robert en Bertrand, and Karl May.
See below the confirmation from the standard publisher who provided the necessary information, for which my sincere thanks.
This is indeed a plate from the Jerom series. These comics were drawn by Studio Vandersteen staff from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s for the German market, where Jerom's stories appeared in various magazines published by Bastei Verlag. Most of these stories were published in the magazine Wastl (the German name for Jerom), which at one point even appeared weekly. Some of the stories originally created for Germany were also published in Dutch in the Jerom albums with green covers.
I don't immediately know which story this cover comes from, but I date it to the late 1970s. The female supporting character is Ingelein, and Jerom here has his eyes opened, which happened quite late in the history of German publications.

Estimated Value Indication (Eugeen Goossens)
Based on recent auction and sales results, the prices for an original page by Eugeen Goossens from the work for Studio Vandersteen (Suske en Wiske, and probably also Jerom) generally fall within this range:
Indicative price for a Goossens page: €750 to €1,500 or more.
Factors that determine value
The final price can vary greatly based on the following points:
The Series
Pages from the main Suske en Wiske series are often somewhat more valuable than those from the Jerom series, but Jerom pages by Goossens are still highly sought after.
The Illustrator
Eugeen Goossens is a highly valued employee of Studio Vandersteen. His work is more valuable than that of some later artists, but generally less valuable than a page that Willy Vandersteen himself fully drew (which can cost tens of thousands of euros).
The Scene / Content of the Page
Crucial pages (for example, the title page, the last page, or a page with a major plot twist) fetch more.
Pages with large, clear illustrations of the main characters (Jerom/Jaroom) or with lots of action are much more valuable than pages with small panels or a simple background.
De Staat
The condition of the page (no tears, stains, tape, etc.) is, of course, essential.
The Origin (Story)
Pages from well-known or beloved stories of Jerom (such as 'De leeuwengod,' which is often mentioned in catalogs) may have a higher value.
