Who is Franka How did it all start... Cover of PEP 48, 1974 that introduced Franka.
Cover of Eppo 11, 1977 that introduced me to Storm.
Franka (Francesca Victoria) is a young, attractive and adventurous female private investigator. At first she lived in a fictionalised version of the Netherlands, her home was in the town of Groterdam. But since 1993’s “Flight of the Atlantis” she has been known as a resident of Amsterdam. The cases she solves often take place in the worlds of art, fashion and film in a world of exotic places full of cons, crooks and crazies. Once I started reading her adventures in the new Eppo magazine in 1976, it soon became my favourite comic.
Only to be paralleled by the adventures of “STORM” created by Don Lawrence in 1977. It was going to be an interesting ride...
In PEP Nr.46 (1974 was the first announcement of the new comic,then in the next issue (47) they not published an interview with Henk Kuijpers and announced that the first adventure “The Coup” of what was to be called “ The Criminology Museum” was coming the next week. We see a movie poster being hung up that features the THREE main characters; Arend, Jarko AND FRANKA!
