Van Hooydonck, Peter

Welcome ! I'm a Belgian collector of Golden Age (1930-1960) comics and original art of European masters. I was 15 years young when I started collecting back issues of Belgian comics. That's more than 35 years ago. Belgium was one of the most comic-productive countries in the world, during the period 1930-1960. It's no wonder that my collection was built around the most famous Belgian artists. In fact, it were the Flemish artists that got my attention in those early days, and I must say, they are still my favorits. I got specialised in the life and works of Willy Vandersteen. In 1994 I wrote his biografy. And since then a lot of articles in specialised fanzines and magazines. Twice a year I organise a public sale in Antwerp, Belgium : original comicbooks, original art, merchandising... I hope you enjoy some of my objects ! Peter Van Hooydonck
