Details

Official collection of the magazine “Illustreerde Avonturen”, which includes the first three issues of BIMBO. In that sense, the first bundle with Bimbo. There is also an album with this front of Illustrated Adventures nos. 18 to 30 without no. 26 and without Bimbo. Bimbo is the successor of the large-format magazine " Geïllustreerde Avonturen" (Aventures Illustrées) and first appeared in 1942. Last edition: February 1950. The elephant figure Bimbo itself was already part of "Illustreerde Avonturen" (GA) and was used as the mascot of the so-called Bimbo-Club; useful for binding readers to the magazine. The magazine GA flows seamlessly into Bimbo. The last copy of GA is number 30 (price: 1 Fr.). Bimbo number 1 has serial number 31 (price: 1.25 Fr.) and the subtitle "Illustrated Adventures" “Large unpublished Belgian weekly for young people”. The magazine says 'Second year', but it is therefore the 1st year for Bimbo. Copies of Bimbo with the imprint “First year” do not exist. Recorded copies of "Illustreerde Avonturen": number 19, 22 to 30 (total: 10x). Recorded copies of "BIMBO": issues 1 (31), 2 (32), and 3 (33). The insert mentioned on the front cover of Bimbo is actually nothing more than Bob Hunter's story “The Lightning” on pages 7 and 8. In themselves, intact magazines of "Illustrated Adventures" are quite rare; this bundle is also interesting because of the first three issues of Bimbo. Published by “Studio Guy” in Brussels. Guy Depierre worked with a studio in which Marcel Moniquet (from 1941) and Fernand Cheneval (from 1942), the founder of the famous comics magazine "Héroic-Albums", worked. Maurice Tillieux also worked for the studio. JM Charlier and Victor Hubinon had Joe la Tornade appear in Bimbo under the pseudonym Charvic. Fred Funcken (with Depierre from 1940) also made various contributions, including the series Tommy Tuller (pseudonym: Dick John's) and Bob Hunter (pseudonym: Mac Bones). At the end of 1943, Funcken was deported to Nazi Germany, after which his series were taken over by Moniquet, Tillieux and Cheneval. When he returned at the end of 1944, he was left with only Tommy Tuller.
