Fele Flitsen (Fierce Flashes) |
Free comic, distributed during the ComicBookPresentDays 2002. It contains commercials drawn by Henk Kuijpers, some just a poster, some a one-page comic, and one slightly longer story. Quite fun :-) |

Het Misdaad museum (The Crime Museum) |
A comic author asks the people from the Crime Museum for advice for a scenario he has made. A movie director asks advice for a script he has. And an antiques merchant, with a hidden weapon sale in his basement, ties all these things together... |

Het meesterwerk (The masterpiece) |
Franka's neighbor, a painter, has finally sold a real painting, and doesn't have to live on painting panels for movie-theaters anymore. He goes and delivers the painting himself, with Franka's car. And disappears. Franka follows the little trail she has, and finds herself at a castle, where that trail seems to end. She returns, or at least pretends to, because some things don't make sense... |
| 3 |  |
De terugkeer van de Noorderzon (The return of the Norhtern Sun) |

De wraak van het vrachtschip (The revenge of the freight-vessel) |
Franka is almost murdered, and by following her killer she finds the missing sailor. But again she has to run, and she escapes with an airplane to Oceanaqua. She is tracked however, and this time the murder-attempt seems to succeed: she is left alone, unconscious, in a flying airplane on autopilot... |
| 5 |  |
Circus Santekraam | Finally, holiday. Franka will spend a few days off at "De Weelde", the estate of the countess she met in her first adventure. On her way there she thinks she hears a talking horse, and sees double people, but that must be her imagination, proof she needs this holiday. But when a car driven by a dog overtakes her it's a bit too much and she ends up in a ditch. And then she notices most things can be explained easily: there is a circus. Most things can be explained, but not all of them... |
| 6 |  |
De monsters van de Moerplaat (The monsters of the Moerplaat) |
Three shorter stories, in which Franka investigates things on her own. In the first for example there is evidence of a monster near a sand-bank, and the guessing blended with an old myth and lots of alcohol stirs up the wild stories. Franka decides to have a look on the bank - and is surprised to actually see something huge flying towards her... |
| 7 |  |
De tanden van de draak (The teeth of the dragon) |
Franka is looking for a replacement part for her diving gear, but finds some artifact in stead. Before she can even take it home someone is trying to take it from her, and even tries to kill her for it. So she tries to figure out what she has actually bought, and it turns out to be something made of a jaw of a dinosaur. Except, it's only a few centuries old... |
| 8 |  |
De ondergang van de donderdraak (The downfall of the thunderdragon) |
