Creator Henk Kuijpers' Franka is a glamorous, globe-trotting private investigator in bright, fast-paced adventures. In any Franka album, expect sexy fashions, flashy cars, all kinds of fantastical planes and ships, exotic locales--beaches, mountains, ancient castles, hyper-modern mansions--drawn in Kuijpers' precise clear-line style.
From the publisher:
Franka is one of the most popular comic series in the Netherlands. The adventures of this sexy redheaded heroine are followed by millions of readers. Franka captures a present day variant of classic 'grand adventure' strips in a well composed 'clear line' style. Bold artwork packed with careful graphic and architectural detail. Adventure enlivened by wit.
From the Geekster review::
In 2024, Franka will celebrate her fiftieth birthday. This red-haired detective made her debut in 1974 in the Dutch comic magazine Pep , where she grew from a supporting character to the lead actress of her own series.
Henk Kuijpers puts an unprecedented amount of energy into making his albums. You can see that not only in the stories that are put together like a Swiss watch. It is also expressed in his maniacally detailed decors for which Kuijpers and his wife often visit the locations to take photos.
The twenty-sixth album, entitled Klifhanger , is no exception. During a party celebrating the successful outcome of the previous adventure, Franka runs into a marquis. This marquis gives her a new assignment. She is asked to investigate his family history. To do this, Franka travels to a fishing village in France, where it will become apparent that things are not as the marquis thinks.
