De Kampioenen is a Belgian comic strip created by Hec Leemans since 1997 and published by Standaard Uitgeverij.

The comics follows the television show rather closely and replicates the atmosphere and the settings faithfully.

Premiering in 1997, the comics proved to be a great success propelling itself to be one of the top 5 best-selling comic strips in Flanders, together with The Adventures of Urbanus, Jommeke, Spike and Suzy, and De Kiekeboes.

[4][5] The comic strip only follows the big story lines of the television series like new characters and the Marc Vertongen and Bieke Crucke wedding.

Despite this, the albums run separately from the story line of the television show.
