Statue of Johan De Rode Ridder (John The Red Knight), hero of the comic book series with the same name in Sint-Pauwels, Belgium
De Rode Ridder is a Flemish comic series that mostly takes place in the Middle Ages. This series, of which the first part appeared in 1959, is by comic artist Willy Vandersteen. It is based on Johan de Rode Ridder, a character from the eponymous children's book series by Leopold Vermeiren. The comic series is published by Standaard Uitgeverij and, next to Suske en Wiske, is without doubt one of the most successful and longest-running series in the history of Studio Vandersteen. Central to the series is Johan, as a universal hero. Where originally the stories took place in a medieval knightly world, the comic evolves throughout the series to a broader time and space framework.
