The Blue Series

The Blue Series is the name of one of the series' of the Suske en Wiske books (Spike and Suzy in English), written by Willy Vandersteen.

[3] In the 1950s, the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Tintin had a good following in France and Wallonia (the French speaking part of Belgium).

However, the sister publication Kuifje, aimed at the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, suffered in comparison.

Hergé taught Vandersteen to draw in the ligne claire style, so these 6 stories were Vandersteen's first works drawn in the ligne claire style.

When Vandersteen left the magazine, he continued his stories, but they were again released with red covers.
