Greetings from the Netherlands.

I was eleven years old when I discovered Yoko in the (now defunct) Dutch version of the 'Spirou' magazine (called "Robbedoes") back in 1970. I immediately liked the way "Hold-Up in HiFi" was drawn, and during the following years I continued to follow all Yoko's adventures in the magazine and later on I bought the albums when they were released.
First in Dutch, and many years later, when I discovered them in during a comic fair, I also bought the French hard-cover versions. I liked those more, because we only have 'soft cover' comic albums in the Netherlands. The hard-cover versions look much better on the book-shelves :-) It took me some time (and with a little help from a dictionary) to fully understand and appreciate the French text, because my French is not really very good.
During the years I found a few "limited-edition" versions, and a few collectables (The Yoko "Fille du Vent"-clock is still working after so many years!) And now I'm collecting the "Intégrales", mostly because of the 'very interesting 'Portfolio' and 'introduction' parts. They are a great addition to the stories :-)
