A DUTCH COMIC BOOK: DE TWEEDE PIMPERNEL #2: GRIJPT IN! (1947)

First, a very obvious confession:  I have no idea what the heck is going on here.

There's this masked guy with a cape (the hero) -- Pimpernel.

There are car chases.  Lots of them.  How much did gas cost in the Netherlands in 1947, anyway?

There are bullets flying.  Pang Pang Pang.

There's also a babe with heavy seams on her nylons.  Her name may be Cora.  Once she's rescued we don't hear anything else from here.

The art work is amateurish.  Cartoonish.  Inelegant.  Ho-hum.

There is one nifty explosion.

It looks like the Pimpernel said something funny in the last panel.  Or perhaps not.

Not knowing the Dutch language is not necessarily a handicap in approaching this book.  You can make up your own dialogue and story to go with the artwork.

Have fun!
