Hein de Kort

As a boy, Hein de Kort drew on everything he could get his hands on. No wonder that he went on to become one of the most productive comic artists in The Netherlands. Although he studied to become a drawing teacher, he turned out a comics artist. Since the early 1980s, his work has been published in several magazines, such as De Waarheid. Starting out at the publishing house Espee, he later transferred to Big Balloon and eventually CIC. He is best known for the couple 'Dirk & Desiree', 'Eikels' (and 'Eikeltjes'), the purple monkey 'Jean-Pierre' and and the sex comic 'Pardon Lul'. He is a regular contributor to the magazines Nieuwe Revu, Penthouse and Sportweek. With Eric Schreurs, he created 'Dick van Bil'. For Het Parool, he does the daily drawn column 'Piet & Riet van de Buis'.
