Suske en Wiske

Common card · No. 343166

Suske en Wiske (Dutch title), translated into English as Willy and Wanda (1976–1987), Bob and Bobette (1989–2006), Spike and Suzy (1998–2001), and Luke and Lucy (2011–2025), is a Belgian comics series created by the late comics author Willy Vandersteen. It was first published in De Nieuwe Standaard in 1945 and soon became popular. Although not in its earliest form, the strip soon adapted the Ligne claire style, pioneered by Hergé. This change took place when the strip became serialised in Hergé's magazine Tintin from 1948 to 1959. The books revolve around the adventures of the eponymous Suske and Wiske, two children (pre-adolescent or adolescent depending on the album), along with their friends and family. The stories combine elements of comedy, fantasy, and science fiction, such as talking animals, time travel and ghosts. The strip still runs daily in the Belgian newspaper De Standaard, and new books continue to be published; as of May 2020, 382 albums have been published.
