De verdwenen 7000

In the dark days of 1942, the Dutch Inspectie Luchtbescherming (Air Protection Inspectorate) released a single-issue comic, De verdwenen 7000, illustrated by Ger van Olven. This wartime publication used the comic format to deliver a public information message about air raid precautions, reflecting the era's urgent need for civilian preparedness. Though brief, it stands as a unique artifact of Dutch wartime propaganda and the early use of sequential art for civic instruction.
