Hi .. I know Dutch, but it's very rusty. I've decided that the best way to keep it up is to read Dutch comics. My favorite Dutch comics are "Suske en Wiske". If someone in Holland knows the name or address of the company which publishes these, I'd appreciate receiving it. I think the name is "Standaard Uitgeverij". If there's someone there in Holland who has a big collection of Suske en Wiske comics and would like to get rid of them, I'd like to buy 'em all, a few at a time (since used comics would cost me less than new ones, and I'm only a poor graduate student). I can think of various fairly secure ways to transact a cross-atlantic bargain. I'm also interested in miscellaneous Dutch comics, and "Heer Bommel" (I think that's the name) books. I'd like the name or address of the publisher, but I'd prefer to get used books. When I say "publisher" above, I suppose I also mean distributor, that is, someone I can purchase books from by mail. Finally, if you (insert picture of Unca' Sam pointing a finger) know a place in the US where I can write to to buy foreign comics, I'd like to hear from you, too. Thanks. Andrew V.
