Hello,
I have a copy of the comic strip “The Happy Adventures of Doris Dobbel” in my possession. In the catalog on this website I read that this comic has a great value.

However, I'm not sure if my copy is exactly the same version as the one from the catalog.
There is no year, address or further explanation printed.
The album is fastened with two staples and a name is written in marker on the inner flap. Furthermore, there are no damages.

I would like more information about my copy. Can I go to this forum for that? If not, who should I turn to for that?
Thanks in advance!

Given the very good condition of the comic on the scans, I don't immediately get the impression that it is a 1952 comic. There were also self-financed editions in 1989 of which we do not yet have images

But it could also be a very well-preserved old release. I'm going to check with someone who I think can say something about it.

Sorry, just got back from vacation without internet.

This is certainly a first edition because as far as I know not yet reprinted in the same version. Those "self-managed" releases of the 1980s are bundled photocopies.

A first edition in super quality, never seen in that quality before. For a feasible price you should check the auction prices, this should get a top price. About the best and most expensive Dutch comic strip I estimate.

Thank you Peter,

In the meantime I also have the impression - after contact with Loebas - that this is an original version. Congratulations Loebas!
