Frank Jonker
Author · 6 books
Frank Jonker is one of the most productive Dutch comic writers, and probably the one person in the Netherlands who can make a living out of this profession. He is a regular scriptwriter for the Dutch Donald Duck weekly and the girls' magazines Tina and Penny. Besides his work for magazines, Jonker is known for his full-length adventure comics made in collaboration with Hans van Oudenaarden ('Bob Evers'), Ijsbrand Oost ('Max Miller') and Danker Jan Oreel ('Hel'). Several of his comics on commission are based on true stories or historical events, such as 'Het Van Walraven-testament' (2009) and 'Nieuwe Vrienden' (2014) with artist Eric Heuvel, 'De Verdronken Paarden van Ameland' (2011) by commission of Penny magazine, and 'Japien de Joode' (2023) with Danker Jan Oreel.
