In Voor Allen, Van den Berghe created a weekly cartoon with the character 'Jan van Plan'. From 1936 on, he drew several comics for the Belgian comics weekly Bravo!, starting with the comedic duo 'Pikkel en Duim' in Bravo's very first issue (3 May 1936). Debuting on 5 June 1936, Van den Berghe also drew five adventure serials with John Flanders's 'Edmund Bell' character: 'De Man met het Witte Aangezicht', 'De IJzeren Tempel', 'Het Geheim van Hawk-Manor', 'Het Mysterie van de Witte Tijger', and 'Mysteras'. After his death, Van den Berghe's running serials were continued by his pupil Leo de Budt.
