Description
Eric Heuvel is a Dutch Clear Line artist, best known for his series 'January Jones' and his educational comics about World War II. Born in Amsterdam, Heuvel worked as a customs officer between 1983 and 1997 before turning to comics fulltime. Heuvel drew his first comics in the 1980s, drawing 'SF-Terra' and some contributions to fanzines like Krest, Rebel Comics and Yèch. He made his professional debut in 1986 with 'January Jones', a comic about a female pilot in the 1930s. The series was written by Martin Lodewijk, published in Sjosji magazine and collected in book format by Big Balloon between 1987 and 1995. Eric has also been working on the project of adapting the television comedy 'Toen was geluk nog heel gewoon', into comic format for Studio and Mikro Gids. His classical text strip 'Bud Broadway', for which he also wrote the scripts, was serialized in Algemeen Dagblad from the mid 1990s until 2000. This newspaper also picked up his next strip, 'Het Geheim van de Tijd' ('The Secret of the Time'), written by Frits Jonker, in March 2003. As a commercial aritst, Heuvel has made comics for the annual reports of the Blokker Holding, advertising strips for Reaal, and a comic for the Dutch public transport company (GVB) in Amsterdam. In the early 1990s he made the comic strip 'Bos & Beemd' with Hanco Kolk for the military magazine Appèl. Eric, who studied to become a history teacher from 2001 to 2003, also made educational comic pages about World War II for the Anne Frank Foundation, that were published in the Anne Frank Krant. This eventually evolved into 'De Ontdekking', Eric's educational comic about the occupation of Holland during World War II. Source: www.lambiek.net
