Treasures

Cyril Koopmeinders is writing a biography of Eddie de Jong and Rene Windig, two Dutch comic artists. I just got a copy of the first part of this biography, that will be published as a series of magazines. It is only a test edition, a digital print, in a circulation of five copies. But it is done very beautiful and a great project, so I hope that the official edition will be available soon !

On the record are three songs and there is a little comic:

Here is the song on the A-side, ”Green stuff”, featuring the incredible Rene Windig on mouth organ:
