Bert Bus began working for publisher De Spaarnestad shortly after the World War II. He stayed at this company for his entire career. Therefore, almost all of his comics have been published in Sjors magazine. His first series was the science-fiction comic 'Olaf Noord', which ran from 1953 to 1956. At the same time, he did the gag strip about the pre-historic boy 'Skokan' from 1955 to 1956.

After the cancellation of 'Olaf Noord', Bus took on the historical comic series 'Theban, de Eerste Wereldreiziger'. This series ran until the restyling of Sjors magazine in 1959. In the restyled magazine, Bus made three independent stories: 'De Brug in het Oerwoud' (1960-61), 'De Gouden Kraag' (1962) and 'De Slavenkoopman van Pompeï' (1963).

Bus then began a new science-fiction series, called 'De Avonturen van Cliff Rendall'. This series ran from 1963 to 1965. In addition, he did comics with 'Huckleberry Finn' and 'Lance Barton'. He was then briefly present in the girls' magazine Tina with 'Jola' and 'Nancy Drew'. He returned to Sjors in 1971 to draw 'Archie, de Man van Staal', originally a British comic. Afterwards, he drew 'Stef Ardoba' for Eppo (1975), as well as the 'Russ Bender' trilogy in Sjosji (1986-1987).
