Fred Julsing

Over at The Comics Reporter, Tom Spugeon reports that Dutch comics creator Fred Julsing has passed away.



The sad thing is that, despite what was apparently a long and illustrious career, I'd never even heard of Julsing.



A quick visit over to this fansite shows me what I've been missing. Even though the site is in Dutch, I can look around enough to see that I would in all probability really like Julsing's work. It's, well, charming. A bit Miyazaki-esque at times, by way of Dr. Seuss, but with a charm all its own.



Sadly, a quick check for Dulsing in Amazon.com & Amazon.co.uk shows nothing, which would seem to indicate that nothing by Julsing has ever been translated into English. Which is a shame, because Dulsing seems like a talent who should have had some exposure over here.



So, which publisher will step up to the plate and get us some translated Dulsing? Please?
