Before we delve into the 12th work, let's take a brief look at the history of Suske en Wiske. The series was created by Willy Vandersteen, a Belgian comic artist and writer, who was inspired by traditional Flemish folklore and mythology. The first comic, "Suske en Wiske," was published in 1946 and introduced the main characters: Suske, a young boy with a heart of gold, and Wiske, his clever and resourceful sister. The series quickly gained popularity, and over the years, Vandersteen created 108 comics, each with its own unique story and characters.
