The Red Series

The Red Series of "Suske en Wiske" (known in English as "Spike and Suzy") are the best known series of Dutch comics. The name of these series originated in the red covers of the albums. They comprise of most of the "Spike and Suzy" books, all others fitting into The Blue Series or the specials.

List of the Red Series albums

In this section, the date refers to the date of the first (i.e. non-coloured until 1964) print of the given album. All the following albums have the same date, until a new date has been given to an album. It must be noted that this date is not the same as the date of the first 'coloured' print. A reference between those editions has been given.

Note: the title of album 21 ("De cirkusbaron") has been reprinted with the corrected title ("De circusbaron") from 1956 onwards. A few other titles have minor changes between the original edition and reeditions as well. Some reeditions are also redrawn, some are only retexted.

If an album has been published in English, the English title is given as well, preceded by S&S (if the series was titled "Spike and Suzy"), W&W (for "Willy and Wanda"), or B&B (for "Bob & Bobette"). All of these books have also been published in French, though in a slightly different order.
