Dick Bos

Dick Bos was a Dutch detective comics series, published between 1940 and 1967 on irregular basis by Alfred Mazure.

Many stories follow him as he solves cases and has lengthy fight sequences in which thieves and crooks are beaten up.

Dutch Minister of Education, Culture and Science Theo Rutten eventually sent a circular among schools to discourage distribution of "violent comics".

Mazure was therefore forced to quit Dick Bos, since magazines and newspapers were no longer willing to publish violent comics.

[2][1] Between 1963 and 1967, when media censorship against comics loosened, Mazure drew new adventures of Dick Bos and made two animated short films based on the character.
