The Filmstripboek series was made in 2006 along with the Dutch Disky DVDs. The intention was to use screengrabs from all 52 of the episodes and make them into 17 comicbooks (3 episodes each). Only 2 of these were eventually released.

Production

On the 24th of February, Harald Siepermann posted on his Alfred J. Kwak blog and three days later on his personal blog that there would be 52 comic books coming. This turned out to be an exaggeration and must've been a miscommunication as on the pictures he posted we can clearly see two alternate covers of the first book, featuring Radbout de Derde and Jonkheer Das, with the first three episodes. The photo's likely show proofs of concept as they were being shown to Siepermann.

On the 18th of August 2006, in outdoor theater Cabrio in Soest, Herman van Veen officially announced, at the end of the charity theater play Eend Goed Al Goed for Unicef, that there will be comics for all 52 episodes, spread across 17 books (all containing 3 episodes, except the last one containing 4). At the end of this theater play Ton de Jong van PrimaMedia handed him the very first volume of this series. The plan was that these would be translated and spread over the entire world.

At the end of the performance, Ton de Jong from PrimaMedia presented van Veen with the very first volume of the series. The plan was for these comics to be translated and distributed worldwide.
