Henk Albers was a Disney artist, the only Dutch artist who ever met Walt Disney himself. In 1951 he was allowed to interview Walt Disney in his role of Razende reporter for Ketelbinkie Krant.

He worked for Donald Duck for a long time and he started at Toonder and Geesink. He also worked for the AVRO-bode for many years and was once also a circus director and collaborated with several well-known comedians. Shortly after the Second World War, he made "De Kat", a graphic novel series, which was one of the reasons for the infamous comic strip ban on Dutch schools in the 1940s, of which Dick Bos was also the victim.
In addition, with Morris 's approval, he was one of the first Lucky Luke ghost artists (first for Pep and later for Lucky Luke Magazine). He has spent much of his career working for others, which is why his name is best known by colleagues (where he is a model for the hard-working anonymous draftsman).
