Hendrik J. Vos

Hendrik J. Vos was born in Dordrecht, The Netherlands in 1946. He received his art education at the Academy of Art in Arnhem and spent a lot of his life as a teacher at the same institute. Apart from this he became an illustrator and did incidental comic art jobs, mainly for independent publishers and "adult" comic magazines. In the 1970s and 1980s, he occasionally contributed comics to De Vrije Balloen, Aloha, Wordt Vervolgd, Titanic and his own SF magazine Krypton (1984).

Together with Martin Lodewijk, he revived the classic 1940s pulp character 'De Kat', orginally created by Henk Albers. In 1980, his debut album appeared, 'De Kat in Constantinopel'. After several years of absense in the field, his name popped up again in 1999 with the album 'De Prins en de Paardekop', a collection of his SF and fantasy stories for Wordt Vervolgd and Titanic.

He returned once again in 2006 with the launch of the 'Edelpulp' series, that started with a new album of De Kat, 'De Kat in de Karpaten'. He also did contributions to Myx magazine and the 'Bloeddorst' anthology.
