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 24 February 2006, 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 statement turned out to be an exaggeration and likely a result of miscommunication, as the images he posted clearly show two alternate covers of the first book featuring King Radbout de Derde and Jonkheer Das, along with content from the first three episodes. These photos likely depict proofs of concept as they were being shown to Siepermann, and include different color tests.[1][2]
On 18 August 2006, at the outdoor theater Cabrio in Soest, Herman van Veen officially announced, at the conclusion of the charity theater play Eend Goed Al Goed for UNICEF, that comics covering all 52 episodes would be released across 17 books (each containing 3 episodes, except the final volume, which contains 4). 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.[3][4]

Notes
- ↑ Likely Siepermann and Bacher are credited for character designs and background designs for the animated series, but it is unlikely they were involved in the creation of this book.
- ↑ This picture originated from the second comic book in this series, but was never released.
- ↑ This episode name is inconsistent with the episode names from the series. It should be "RangPang". "De straat van Jeep" is also not referring to the geographical location that Colonel Rang Pang is stationed at, because that is called "De Engte van Gebral". It is unknown why this was changed.
